| Spy who turned tide with Libya is brought back to target Teheran |
| 2006-06-18 |
| The American spy who persuaded Libya to renounce its weapons of mass destruction is to return to the Central Intelligence Agency, where he will direct an aggressive drive to recruit informants inside Iran to aid possible negotiations over Teheran's nuclear capability. Stephen Kappes, a former United States Marines officer who resigned from the CIA after a clash with its then director, Porter Goss, has been brought back from self-imposed exile in London by George W Bush. Iran will be top of his agenda. "He's a remarkable guy, a talented leader and among the finest officers of his generation," said Gary Berntsen, the CIA's key commander during the invasion of Afghanistan, who has worked for Mr Kappes in the Middle East. "He knows the target [Iran] intimately." |

| #1 I read this earlier with mixed views. Stephen (knee) Kappes is supposedly the "answer" on Iran because he wants to talk to them? Peter Goss comes out the asshole because he dumps Kappes? |
