US appoints intelligence chief for
Cuba and Venezuela
WASHINGTON, November 27.— John Negroponte, the U.S.
national director of intelligence, announced this
Monday that Norman Bailey is to be the chief of an
intelligence “mission” for Cuba and Venezuela.
This
post – created in August and similar to just six
other posts within the U.S. intelligence service –
does not imply operative or analytical tasks, stated
an official communiqué, reported AFP.
According to the information, Bailey’s work will
consist of tasks at “a strategic level… including
the collection (of information) and analysis,
identifying and filling gaps in (the field of
intelligence), and planning and guaranteeing the
implementation of those strategies.”
The
announcement by Negroponte, former ambassador in
Honduras during the dirty war against the
Sandinistas and the Iran-Contra scandal, does not
mention the ultimate goal of this appointment or if
it has any links to the secret anti-Cuba clause of
the Bush Plan.
