Retired Green Beret, CIA contractor still ready for action at 75 (Great Story)
AP ^ | BILL KACZOR

Billy Waugh traces a burning desire to serve his country to Dec. 7, 1941 when Sheriff Ed Cartwright ordered the movie stopped at the Strand Theater in Bastrop, Texas, to announce that Japan had bombed Pearl Harbor.

Waugh, who popped popcorn at the theater, was only 12 and too young to fight in World War II, but at 18 he enlisted in the Army. He saw combat as a paratrooper in Korea and a Green Beret in Vietnam, where he was wounded eight times in 7 1/2 years.

After retiring as a sergeant major he became an independent contractor for the CIA. In his 60s, Waugh spied on Osama bin Laden and tracked down "Carlos the Jackal," celebrated his 72nd birthday in Afghanistan with a rifle slung over his shoulder and then served similar duty for the spy agency at 74 in Iraq last year.

He is steadfast, however, in his belief that al-Qaida, the terrorist organization bin Laden was forming in the early 1990s while Waugh was spying on him, must be crushed.

"Their intent is to destroy our way of life," Waugh said. "Al-Qaida and many other factions of Islam — not all of Islam — are devoted to taking down the West. How long has it been going on? It's been going on since the Crusades."

He regrets not killing bin Laden while eavesdropping on him in Khartoum, Sudan, in 1991-92.

"I'm not a very good shot with a pistol, but I could have killed him, certainly, with a silent weapon," Waugh said.

After the Sept. 11 attacks, Waugh begged CIA officials to send him to Afghanistan, where he joined a small team of CIA operatives and Army and Air Force special operations troops. He served with a similar team in Iraq.

Okay, so far we've passed two of the projected attack windows: 8:15 A.M. Hiroshima time, and 8:15 A.M. in all U.S. time zones for August 6. Guess we're all going to be on alert for the long haul.
