7. This only came from...

the Wayne Madsen Report website (scroll down to Sept. 17 - 18). Wingnuts complain that this website divulges classified info, so best to keep it at a low profile. No doubt someone will chime in that wmr is not to be trusted for info.

Ney has long been been known to have ties to Iran, having taught English there, but apparently also had a longtime role with the CIA?

"In January 2006, Newsweek reported that Ney's lawyer confirmed that federal prosecutors have subpoenaed records on an expenses paid February 2003 trip to London that Ney and a top aide took. The trip was paid for by “Nigel Winfield, a thrice-convicted felon who ran a company in Cyprus called FN Aviation. Winfield was seeking to sell U.S.-made airplane spare parts to the Iranian government — a deal that would have needed special permits because of U.S. sanctions against Tehran”, and that “Ney personally lobbied the then Secretary of State Colin Powell to relax U.S. sanctions on Iran.”<51>."
