Thanks for that interesting reply.
People are discussing Ms McCarthy's quick rise in CIA assignments in the '80s. I am wondering how far back her relationship with Priest and Goodfellow goes. Was she a pro-CIP person way back then, or did the Marxists of that org. turn her to their side. Lots of threads to follow.
"... according to the New York Times, by the late 1980s McCarthy was already chief of the CIAs Central America and Caribbean section despite having no experience in those areas."
