- A top member of the CIA's national intelligence council
was found dead at his Northern Virginia home on Tuesday, April 3 - just
two days after the loss of the highly classified EP-3 surveillance plane
to Red China.
-
- Rick Yannuzzi, a senior analyst at the CIA, had risen
through the spy agency's ranks to become the CIA's deputy intelligence
officer for strategic and nuclear programs. He joined the Central Intelligence
Agency in 1977. As a member of the national intelligence council, Yannuzzi
was responsible for presenting analysis on strategy and nuclear weapons
for Washington's top government decision-makers.
-
- Yannuzzi, age 46, was married with three children. He
was found inside his Oakton area home at about 3 p.m. Tuesday. The state
medical examiner performed an autopsy on Thursday and ruled the cause of
death was asphyxiation. There was no explanation of the exact method of
asphyxia that was used by Yannuzzi to kill himself. The Washington Post
reported that Yannuzzi left a suicide note in which he expressed his love
for his family. He gave no reason for committing suicide.
-
- The CIA says it is satisfied with the suicide verdict
of Yannuzzi's death. The official CIA cover story for Yannuzzi's suicide,
however, is highly suspect. The spy agency planted a very suspicious story
to Fairfax police as a possible explanation for his unexplained death.
-
- According to the Washington Post account, Yannuzzi had
been one of several CIA employees questioned in March by the agency's Inspector
General regarding accusations by a manager who complained that her privacy
rights had been violated. According to the dubious story, the manager
filed a complaint after anonymous letters were sent to CIA officials protesting
the woman's receipt of two cash performance bonuses and a promotion.
-
- The manager was given $6,500 in bonuses and a promotion
despite having been found guilty of choking another agency employee during
an office altercation in September 1998. Following the promotion and bonuses,
CIA agency officials received more anonymous letters protesting the actions.
The letters led to an internal investigation.
-
- Apparently, the CIA wants the American public to believe
that a top-level intelligence officer involved in nuclear strategy committed
suicide over being questioned about anonymous letters sent to superiors
regarding pay performance bonuses and promotions.
-
- Considering that his body was found about 48 hours after
China forced down one of the most top-secret spy planes in the world, questions
should be asked about what Rick Yannuzzi knew about the planes arrival
at a PLA air base - and who he planned to tell.
-
- It appears to be another case of 'Arkancide.' That's
what happens to people who know too much about the international crime
syndicate that has overtaken the US government. It's common in Arkansas.
It looks like suicide - but smells like murder.
