Gladio: a documented 'false flag' terror campaign

[Carsten Wiethoff]

In the interest of focusing on Oswald LeWinter again, I would like to mention the article in the Washington Post from Feb. 15, 2001 called "Tinker, Tailor, Poet, Spy?".
The article is payware on the archive site of the Washington Post, which is why I do not quote here in it's entirety, but it can be found on the net.
Here is the free preview:

[TD="colspan: 2"][John Macnamara] and "[Mearah]" -- [Oswald LeWinter] -- met again at 6:30, this time in the AmbassadorHotel's bar, where Austrian authorities arrested the bogus secret agent. As they wrestled him out of the bar, LeWinter screamed that he and other CIA operatives would kill Macnamara and Fayed. A short while later, authorities searched LeWinter's hotel room and found a pile of forged CIA documents, $10,000 in cash and a gas pistol with 25 rounds of ammunition.
Imprisoned at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan, LeWinter met and befriended [Karl Koecher], a Czech spy caught working as a translator for the CIA whom U.S. authorities eventually traded for Soviet Jewish dissident Natan Sharansky. Koecher obviously left a big impression on LeWinter: As he prepared to shake Fayed down years later in Vienna, Koecher was on hand -- lured to Vienna by his former prison mate. Koecher, who booked LeWinter's room at the Bamberg, later denied any involvement in the plot and said he left before LeWinter even met with Macnamara.
The documentary, which aired on Britain's Channel 4, presented LeWinter as an officer who served in the CIA from 1968 to 1985. LeWinter helped bolster the documentary's thesis that U.S. and British authorities engaged in a coverup after the bombing and may have known about it in advance and failed to intervene. The U.S. government denounced the documentary and LeWinter's claim to be a CIA agent.
