CIA OPERATIVE EDWIN WILSON JAILED 28 YEARS

CHALLENGES THE FALSE AFFIDAVIT THAT PUT HIM

IN JAIL! (Reproduced With Permission)

On March 21, 2000, the Houston Chronicle reported that ex-CIA operative Edwin

Wilson asked U.S. District Judge Lynn Hughes to issue citations against 17 current

and former government attorneys or top CIA officials. All helped prosecute him in

1982 for smuggling explosives to Libya.

The issue revolves around a false affidavit the government knowingly submitted to

help convict Wilson. Two statements juxtaposed testify to the two-faced attitude of

officials of the CIA and the Department of Justice.

The federal prosecutors acknowledged they knowingly submitted the false affidavit

but they state, "Wilson is not entitled to a new trial because the bogus evidence was

inconsequential and unrelated to the charges". In the same breath the court

documents submitted by the Justice Department prosecutors insisted that they had

to use the affidavit because "it was the backbone of their case".

It is obvious that the prosecutors are liars and cannot have it both ways. The

affidavit is either the backbone of their case or it is inconsequential and unrelated

to the charges. In either case, if there is any justice in this country, people in very

high places who have been covering up for the foul deeds of the CIA, should serve

at least the same amount of time in jail as has Edwin Wilson.

The Houston Chronicle article, written by Deborah Tedford, contains the following

two paragraphs:

According to documents released to Wilson under the Federal Freedom

of Information Act, "Larson" had told prosecutors the agency would

"deal with the devil" if need be.

"Larson" also acknowledged the CIA might consider providing 40,000

pounds of explosives to someone in Libya if "great" information could

be obtained.

When I read this article, I was immediately reminded of a man who worked for

Edwin Wilson. The man's name was Eugene A. Tafoya and the first

correspondence I received from him in 1991 asked the question "Have you heard

the Devil's Secret Name". In future correspondence and in hundreds of phone

conversations it became obvious that Tafoya believed the Devil's Secret Name is

CIA.
