October 16, 2006 -- Our October 12 story on the jailing, without trial, of one-time CIA asset Susan Lindauer for continuing a pre-war backchannel between Washington and Baghdad has received further confirmation. Lindauer's principal CIA handler, Dr. Richard Fuisz, was a longtime agency operative, according to information received by WMR. Fuisz was affiliated with a CIA front in the 1980s and 90s called "Congress Financial." Fuisz was apparently involved in secret arms deals in the 1980s with Saddam Hussein. These deals involved the assembling of special Terex trucks in Motherwell, Scotland that were later used as rocket launchers by Saddam's forces in their war against Iran. Congress Financial also reportedly had links to the CIA proprietary airline, Evergreen Aviation. 
More funny business at CIA.
Before the start of the first Gulf War (Desert Storm), Fuisz informed the Bush administration about the presence of the rocket launchers in Iraq but was silenced by the CIA. He reported that he was tailed by agents from Kroll Associates, a shadowy company that does much of the CIA's "off-the-books" dirty work. His planned revelations on CBS 60 Minutes about the truck deal with Iraq were reportedly spiked at the last minute by CBS and the Bush I administration. Fuisz returned as a CIA handler of Lindauer as a go-between with Libya and Iraq. However, Lindauer was left exposed as the neo-cons destroyed all channels with Baghdad in their rush to war.
