Terror plot suspect worked for the CIA's airline
The following may be the most important story I have ever written.


It's an incomplete story -- indeed, we have, at present, only about 50 pieces of a 500 piece jigsaw puzzle. Perhaps some of you can help find missing parts of the picture.

In a previous posthttp://cannonfire.blogspot.com/2007/06/more-on-jfk-airport-terror-plot.html , I argued that the "terrorist ring" led by Russell DeFreitas -- the man who had targeted JFK airport, where he once worked -- was actually a drug smuggling ring. Now we have a Newsday http://www.newsday.com/news/local/newyork/ny-nyterr035240989jun03,0,5385601.story?coll=ny-nynews-print piece on the bomb plot which functions as a sort of palimpsest: The surface text shows hints of a more important tale which lies beneath.

Authorities were tipped to the plot by a confidential informant, a convicted drug trafficker who has been working with law enforcement since 2004, according to the complaint....


The author of this piece does not ask the obvious question: Why was a drug trafficker tasked to get close to former baggage handler DeFreitas? The criminal complaint makes clear that DeFreitas vouched for this drug trafficker to his contacts in the Caribbean criminal underworld.

.................. I did discover a genuinely astounding connection.


Defreitas was hired by a cargo transportation company at Kennedy Airport, Watts said. Documents show he was employed as a "trainee supervisor" in 2001 with Evergreen Eagle, a subsidiary of Oregon-based Evergreen International Aviation. Officials there declined to comment.http://www.newsday.com/news/local/longisland/ny-liprof0604,0,7416105.story?coll=ny-main-breakingnewslinks


When in 2001? After September 11? More to the point, was he a baggage handler or a supervisor?

All of this is of no small importance, for one simple reason:

Evergreen is CIA.


..............

Evergreen aircraft have, it seems, been used for "extraordinary renditions" (the transport of captured prisoners for torture)
