This guy needs to be found and who paid him to do this. Sounds like a Chris LeHane project.
The question now is, who is this guy, and where is he now? We're all getting our guesses in, so here's mine. This is a "Greg Packer" type. His goal in life is to see his name in the paper. He got a real good one in this time, but it's probably his last until he establishes some credibility under a new identity which he may already have. For all we know, in addition to his "CIA consultant" identity, he may be well-known to a bunch of business reporters as a former AT&T executive. There are a lot of crackpot Special Forces Heroes out there; that story is not all that rare. Some guy who in real life was a mess-kit repairman gets the girls by telling of his Rambo exploits, and the next thing he knows he's 40 and he's still doing it. This guy's a Secret Agent, too. Even better. I bet we find out this guy had no particular political ax to grind, he's no Marxist conspirator, he's just some Walter Mitty with a boring job and a Secret Agent complex that got away from him one too many times. If I win, I donate the proceeds to the "Rocket Michael Moore into Space" fund. |
