What a piece of useless and wrong trash! Everything and a kitchen sink! Personal suppositions passed as facts. Shame! No attempt at balance and facts? This can not even be called journalism. Photo is wrong. Let's pick on the "fall guy"?!? No mention that he was against the operation as poorly conceived? No mention of someone else attempting to advance courier on this? No mention of opinions of senior CIA officers about Bob and the whole affair? Did not fit the slant of the story? Everyone who works must follow Boss's orders - even when one does not agree... Bob was retiring - he did not need this. He wanted a quite and peaceful life in retirement - otherwise one does not buy a villa in the country side in Italy, in a small village where everyone knows everyone...
You did not bother to ask anyone who knows/knew him. A nicer, more pleasant and personable guy, wife and family are very hard to find. I and my family know.
Following your own story, it is clear that Imam was known and followed by Italians - for Very valid reasons? How could anything have gone on without their knowledge and approval? ;) Can you say DENAYABILITY, boys and girls? In case of something (like this): it wasn't me, it was those Americans! Ignorance is bliss... Nice to pretend, but it is the same all over the World...
Ciao.
