...especially dismaying aspect of all these reports is the prospect that either former agents of the CIA or onetime Green Berets may be involved in the plots. Gaddafi has openly hired ex-employees of those organizations to further his causes. Two notorious former CIA agents now living in Libya, Edwin Wilson and Frank Terpil (both wanted in the U.S. on charges of conspiring to sell explosives and to commit murder), are known to have supplied military and terrorist technology to Libya. More than a dozen onetime Green Berets, recruited by Wilson, have trained Libyan troops. Federal investigators...

Bogart Jackson was quick with a quip and a smile and would fit neatly in an ABC 30-second profile. Officials in crested blazers drooled at the prospect of Bogart Jackson trading wisecracks with Dave Marr or Byron Nelson or the writers. They pictured Bogart Jackson in a pink Izod t-shirt, navy polyester slacks, Spalding shoes, crunching the all-new dimple pattern off of Dunlop Max-Flis.
