FOCUS ON CARDOEN
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
Focus on Cardoen:
|
|
|
|
The name of Carlos Cardoen, mentioned in the latest column by
|
|
Sherman Skolnick posted on CN, appears three times in the book
|
|
The Octopus: Secret Government and the Death of Danny Casolaro
|
|
by Kenn Thomas and Jim Keith:
|
|
|
|
The first is in an affidavit by arms dealer Richard Babayan:
|
|
|
|
"In an affidavit dated 22, 1991, Babayan swore:
|
|
|
|
I, RICHARD H. BABAYAN, being duly sworn, do hereby state as follows:
|
|
|
|
1. During the past several years, I have acted as a broker of
|
|
sales of materials and equipment used by foreign governments in
|
|
their armed forces, intelligence and security organizations.
|
|
|
|
[...]
|
|
|
|
9.In the capacity described in paragraph #1, I attended a meeting
|
|
in Santiago, Chile, in December, 1988, with Mr. Carlos Cardoen of
|
|
Cardoen Industries. During this meeting, I was informed by Mr.
|
|
Cardoen that Dr. Earl Brian of the United States and Mr. Robert
|
|
Gates, a senior American intelligence and national security
|
|
official, had just completed a meeting in Santiago, Chile, with
|
|
Mr. Carlos Cardoen."
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then, from a draft of Casolaro's Octopus manuscript:
|
|
|
|
I had also been placated, I presumed, with documents concerned
|
|
mostly with weapons, fuel air explosives, documents relating to
|
|
Gerald Bull, assassinated the previous spring in Brussels, Carlos
|
|
Cardoen in Chile, mining papers, lab papers relating to
|
|
scientific experiments with lasers, and letters regarding the
|
|
return of that mysterious billion dollars which Danger Man said
|
|
had come from the Nugan Hand bank in Australia. I had already
|
|
seen some of these documents in the months before but now it
|
|
looks as though the gumshoes from the House Judiciary Committee
|
|
would also see them...
|
|
|
|
|
|
and, from The Octopus by Kenn Thomas and Jim Keith:
|
|
|
|
More than a year earlier, on March 31, 1990, a British journalist
|
|
named Jonathan Moyle was found dead, hung in a hotel room closet
|
|
on Santiago, Chile. "Although Casolaro and Moyle were probing
|
|
different leads, their investigations involved some of the same
|
|
people," said columnist Jack Anderson. (7) Moyle, an editor at
|
|
London's Defense Helicopter World, had been investigating the
|
|
weapons trade, specifically the alleged sale of non-military US
|
|
helicopters to Iraq for re-fitting as attack choppers. The notes
|
|
Moyle left behind contained reference to a sophisticated missile
|
|
guidance system that held Iraqi interest, although whether or not
|
|
it used the system in its disastrous SCUD attacks during the
|
|
Persian Gulf War is unknown. Instrumental in the arms-dealing
|
|
Moyle had investigated was Carlos Cardoen, the same man Ari
|
|
Ben-Mensasche identified as the intermediary between Iraq and
|
|
Earl Brian for the PROMIS software deal. (8) Initial reports
|
|
called Moyle's death a suicide, but evidence, including the
|
|
presence of a strong sedative in his system and possible
|
|
asphyxiation, suggested otherwise. (9)
