6. Operation 40 group photo - according to some..

CIA nominee in pic of agency's 60's assasination squad
President George W Bush's nominee to head the nation's flagship intelligence agency also appears to be visible in a photograph taken in 1963 in a Mexico City nightclub of members of the CIA’s secret assassination squad known as “Operation Forty."

9. Wait... in the background, standing?
With half face visible? Who are the others? Anyone? The third guy on right almost looks like Ted Olson, no?

10. Other names (from the link I posted above)
"It is believed that the men in the photograph are all members of Operation 40. Closest to the camera on the left is Felix Rodriguez. Next to him is Porter Goss and Barry Seal. Tosh Plumlee is attempting to hide his face with his coat. Others in the picture are Alberto 'Loco' Blanco (3rd right) and Jorgo Robreno (4th right)."

11. The Mexico City nightclub photo reveals...
a mixed group of apparent Cuban exiles, Italian wise guys, and square-jawed military intelligence types. It was discovered among keepsakes kept in the safe of the widow of CIA pilot and drug smuggler Barry Seal (third from left). It appears on the cover of “Barry & ‘the boys:’ The CIA, the Mob & America’s Secret History" (MadCow Press, Eugene OR. 2001).

Goss appears second on the left. He is seated between notorious CIA pilot and drug smuggler Barry Seal (third left) and the equally-notorious CIA assassin Felix Rodriguez (front left), a Cuban vice cop under the corrupt Mob-run Batista regime who later became an Iran Contra operative and a confidant of the first George Bush.

The only one of the spook celebrants displaying any hint of tradecraft (seated on the other side of the table covering his face with his sport coat) is *Frank Sturgis*, most famous as one of the Watergate burglars.

Beside him sits (front right) William Seymour, New Orleans representative of the Double-Chek Corporation, a CIA front used to recruit pilots (like Seal), and a man who many Kennedy assassination researchers believe impersonated Lee Harvey Oswald on several occasions when the lone nut gunman was out of the country and so unable to impersonate himself.

As we saw it, the photo was in a yellowed frame, the kind used by nightclub photographers to create instant keepsakes. Seal’s widow Debbie Seal kept it in her safe, where it was overlooked by a 7-man team from the State Department which arrived at her house in 1995 to comb through her records.

It bears the name of a nightclub in Mexico City, and is stamped January 22, 1963, which, if you’re counting, was exactly ten months to the day before the Kennedy assassination.

Barry Seal was then a young-looking 24-year old. Porter Goss was the same age.

12. More "information" from alt.conspiracy.jfk's "Dr Truth"
(cue Twilight Zone theme music)

Apparently Tosh Plumlee commented on this photo. Bob Vernon seemed not to understand Plumlee too well...

Check it out in this JFK Lancer thread..

17. Heh, thanks for that link! What do you think of Hopsicker's credibility?
I'm unfamiliar with him. Is he another Sherman Skolnick (entertaining but no news value)?

I admit I haven't read that long long article yet, but I bookmarked it!

Sorry, but I had to post this... I am not in on this whole Goss background thing. Nice to know a key spook is spooking again, good lord.
