[edit] Overall quality of the article

Bio pages should be written more in the style of encyclopedia articles, not faux-journalism (ie, use of jargon like "chief spy".

In going through this mess, I've been cutting blatantly speculative statements like: military attache used as "funnel for money, arms, and intelligence"; unattributed comments about the possibily of Rodriguez's "friend" may have been a CIA asset. We're not trying to win "indy journalism" awards here, people. Just stick to the facts. Alcarillo 16:41, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Speaking of "indy journalism", I even found the earlier text repurposed here. More to my point about the quality of the article and the agenda of whomever started it.Alcarillo

It's bare-boned at the moment, but I believe most of the information is factual and verifiable. Should anyone wish to expand on the information presented here, please include info relevant to the article (and not rhetoric regarding CIA policy in Latin America, gross speculation and investigative-style reportage) as well as a citation to back it up. Note that I've tagged a couple of items as needing factual support. Others, like this supposed link between Rodriguez's appointment and Kissinger's resignation from the 9/11 Commission, I removed.Alcarillo 17:16, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Verifiable Sources

In trying to dig up some more biographical data on Rodriguez, I came upon this | jem of an article. It seems like whomever wrote the entry on Rodriguez was taking cues from it. I'll put it in as an external link, but it really shouldn't be used here as a source of information. Alcarillo 17:22, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Presumed D/NCS

I would like to remind you all that because the CIA does not publish the name of the D/NCS, we cannot produce verifiable proof that Rodriguez is still in the post. --RaiderAspect 02:21, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
