That the victims were faking health incidents to obtain workers compensation is an absurd and insulting claim. We were psychosomatic, the FBI concluded in a report for which they did not interview a single victim. The ignominy we suffered was omnipresent. From the victims in Havana to those of us who were injured in 2017 and beyond, the response from CIA seniors and the government as a whole was, at best mixed and, at worst, unethical and immoral. Unfortunately, I find the actions of several of the CIA’s senior leaders prior to January 2021 to respond to the attacks on our personnel to be a historic failure of leadership. I served with the clear understanding that my leadership would have my back and that, if I were injured or killed, both myself and my family would be cared for.
As a senior intelligence service officer, I ran operations across the globe - Iraq, Afghanistan, North Africa, East Africa, the Levant. I worked for 26 years at the CIA, retiring in July 2019 because injuries suffered during a trip to Moscow in December 2017. One wonders, how can these incidents still occur, with (until recently) such little concerted effort expended by the government to determine who is perpetrating what I believe are acts of war against our dedicated public servants? The first “sonic attacks” were reported in Cuba in 2016 by U.S. Dozens reportedly have been struck, an extraordinary number in a European capital once thought as safe.
diplomats in Austria experienced what I can define only as a slow-moving mass casualty event. Will we develop cancers or Parkinson’s disease? Will our symptoms subside, become more tolerable, or perhaps get worse ? And yet, as the weeks and months go by, with doctor visits and rehabilitation and the great unknown of whether we will ever recover, the attacks on government personnel, quite amazingly, keep occurring.Īs reported this past week, U.S. Our families are supportive, but secretly are terrified that we have suffered an insidious invisible wound whose actual effects may not be known for years. government, for me and others who are victims of these attacks, we know only one simple truth: We are hurting. Whatever the term of the day is for the U.S.
