His CIA Case Officer

[edit]

I do not see any mention of a CIA case officer in this article, but I listened to a SpyCast from the International Spy Museum, and the interviewer was talking to a former CIA case officer, Martha "Martie" Peterson, who ran Trigon as a CIA asset.L.J. Tibbs (talk) 21:50, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    • Furthermore, Mendez' book "Master of Disguise" refers to TRIGON as TRINITY. In this section, he mentions that the cyanide capsule was provided by "Jacques Dumas," (p.247) which is obviously an alias. However, "Jacques" was a Marine, while Ames was not.

Any chance this salacious claim can be verified?

[edit]

Aleksandr Dmitryevich Ogorodnik was an official in the Soviet diplomatic service who, while stationed at the Soviet embassy in Bogotá, Colombia, was compromised and later blackmailed by Colombian intelligence into spying on Moscow. Ogorodnik was initially handled by the Colombians, with little success.

I found corroboration in the at https://archive.org/details/CNNW_20160620_020000_Declassified/start/360/end/420, which describes CNN's Declassified (June 19, 2016 7:00pm-8:01pm PDT) a man who was a womanizer who might not be much of a "communist". I don't know if this second source actually refers to "blackmail" because I can't access transcripts to it.

I do physics, not this sort of stuff, so I have no idea if this is even true.--Guy vandegrift (talk) 14:12, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
