CIA has been in the Philippines since the late 40's. Edward Lansdale helped to defeat the Huk guerrillas at that time.

Much thanks for your reply #11.

I appreciate your telling the history of the CIA in the Philippines. It further confirms that the CIA had had significant presence there for a long time and keeps track what goes on there including the period in question 1993-1995.

Google is so unfamiliar with the name "Lepney" that it automatically converts a search for "John Lepney" into a search for "John Leney".

Thanks, aristeides. I've often wondered if google was "connected". If I were on the opposing side, I'd sure use it...
