Old CIA Files
Not just any CIA files but old files. Files that should have been sent to the archives or the burn bag but somehow managed to pop up in the most unusual settings or at the most inappropriate times. The old CIA files Duncan Hunter is exposed to are, with apologies to Thomas Alva Edison, 90% inspiration, 10% perspiration. An illegal alien that becomes the President--there just has to be a hidden file on him-- and the CIA and all the President's men are looking for it. The President does negotiate with terrorists and pays the terrorist billions--again, there just has to be a file because there has to be a black program that has CIA agents facilitating the payments. In No Need to Know, several unrelated old files come together for an explosive story.
Purposely, there is a little bit of truth in these imaginary old CIA files. They are ripped from today's headlines. Today we learned the current CIA Director voted for the 1980 Communist Party Presidential candidate, Gus Hall. The book on the DCI is that he also converted to Islam many years ago, and the news he had voted for the Communist Party" while taking a polygraph, was simply stunning. In Shoot Down readers are introduced to Dr. Bruce Rothwell, CIA Director who is not only a closet Communist but converted to Islam to better infiltrate terrorist groups such as al-Qaeda. Some things you can make up only to find out they are true--change the name of course.
And then there is the President. In book four, Blown Cover, readers are introduced to the man whose file was released by one Duncan Hunter. He is described by his name, for he was named after a famous Russian, a famous Muslim, and his African family. Maxim Mohammad Matabaa. A Soviet-style socialist at heart, he once described the Muslim call to prayer as “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.”
And some files come from unusual sources, like defectors. These can often provide a treasure trove of old intelligence that is relevant for today's world view and foreign policy.
Old files, old pilots, old airplanes, old CIA guys, old SEALs. And one young incredibly beautiful CIA senior executive that is in the middle of them all.
Maverick out!
