The Bizarre Case Of Thomas McHale And CIA Connections To Terrorist Bombings.
Some may question, what was New York area port authority Thomas McHale doing with the US Military Special Forces in Afghanistan, and what were his ties to the Rigis in Iran, who are responsible for hundred of civilian deaths in Iran from terrorist bombing? Mchale reportedly helped form a US recognized terrorist organization called Jundallah, using a New York based informant on the FBI payroll since 1996. McHale gained fame for his heroic actions on 9/11. Did he just happen to be in the right places on 9/11 because he was well informed??
The fascinating NY Times article starts out like this;
WASHINGTON — After a car bombing in southeastern Iran killed 11 Revolutionary Guard members in 2007, a C.I.A.officer noticed something surprising in the agency’s files: an intelligence report, filed ahead of the bombing, that had warned that something big was about to happen in Iran.
I highly suggest reading the entire above article. It’s a scary look down the rabbit hole of three letter intelligence agencies, best summed up by Senator Holt, a member of the intelligence commitee.
But friends and former colleagues say this characterization of Mr. McHale as a rogue operator is unfair. They point out that the relationship persisted for more than a decade, and Mr. McHale’s actions were approved and applauded by several United States agencies over those years. “I’m not sure what to say about this case,” said Mr. Holt, who is retiring from Congress this year. “Everything is plausible in the freewheeling intelligence world.”
