17 July 2005. Thanks to A.


Did you get my info on Jeffrey Castelli that I emailed you on July 6?

The Washington Post says about this guy, without naming him:

"Officials involved in the Milan operation at the time said it was conceived by the Rome CIA station chief, organized by the CIA's Counterterrorism Center, and approved by the CIA leadership and by at least one person at the National Security Council. The station chief has since retired but remains undercover."  (WP, June 30, 2005)

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/06/29/AR2005062902971_pf.html

However, I take this to mean that he's retired, but hiding from anyone who might like to question him about a kidnapping in Italy. Is he really "undercover" as a retiree or is it a case of the Washington Post not wanting to find him?

In terms of naming names, this Google search show that he's already been named around the world:

(Note that most of these are foreign publications, but Yahoo News is also there.)

And now it's just a matter of plugging his name into everyday tools available on the web:
