Since he was the ambassador to Saudi Arabia wouldn’t ALL visas issued during his time there have been issued in his name? Just saying.
Oh, never mind… he wasn’t ambassador, he was the CIA station chief. As such, how could HE issue visas? Something does”compute”.
According to Wikipedia, he wasn’t Ambassador. “In 1996, he was CIA station chief in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, when the Khobar Towers bombing killed 19 U.S. servicemen.” Another coincidence?
Makes sense to me. It’s not like he took over a clerk’s deck to serve these people, which of course is what the article tries to imply.
