That changes the picture on this "terror plot."
But to offer another speculation: Could it be this was part of the sting, to make him think he was CIA and wasn't? That would raise entrapment to a new level. Could defense lawyers prove entrapment or any CIA employment connection to DeFreitas? I recall a few bagmen the agency abandoned, left to rot in prisons.

HOLY CRAP!! joe, you've done it again. amazing work!
and unirealist, as ever, our suspicious minds are in synch. in a previous comment on joe's earlier post on this topic, i mused that - what with all these criminals now cut loose by our 'leadership of integrity' - there are bound to be turf wars.
and this could be their undoing. we can only hope.
one minor thing i'd like to add is just that pat robertson's 'missionary' efforts in africa were notable for sending over supplies and such (no doubt, such similar 'junk'), but returning with cargoes of diamonds and other precious resources. i was never convinced that those imports were completely legal, to boot.
very very messy stuff. note also that the doj is not really out front on this. one would think the AGAG would be all over this like stink on dog poop to make sure not only that the world knows that his people are protecting the american people from turrists, but also to make sure that the story detracts from his many scandals currently in the news.
the thought that bush and gonzo are actually sweating about the implications in this story, instead of pouncing on it to use and abuse it like 9/11, is just - well, really - delicious.

I think I'm having a Iran-contra moment. Shades of Ollie North, Jose Posada, ahem "Max Gomez" and gang.

Trini terrorist suspect gave false name
-- How did Abu Bakr right hand man get Guyana passport?
THE Trinidad terrorist suspect nabbed in a Joint Services raid on a house south of Georgetown earlier this week, is not the man he claims to be, sources confirmed yesterday.
The Guyana Defence Force (GDF) Thursday night announced that the man held in the raid in the continuing search for 30 AK-47 rifles and five pistols stolen from its Georgetown headquarters, had identified himself as Mustafa Abdullah Muhammad, also known as Edmund DeFreitas.
He has, however, now been identified as David Millard, well-known in Trinidad as ‘Buffy’, who fled from New York after a shooting incident and returned to Trinidad where he moved up the ranks of the radical Jamaat Al Muslimeen group led by coup leader Abu Yasin Bakr.
A top source yesterday said authorities are trying to find out how Millard found his way here and acquired a Guyana passport in the name of Edmund DeFreitas, recorded in the travel document as born in March 1960 at Bartica in Guyana.
A 9 mm pistol and 57 rounds of matching ammunition, electronic equipment, cell phones and computers were among items seized in the raid on a Nandy Park house where Millard and four others were arrested and investigators here are trying to find out what the Trinidad fugitive was up to while here.
He is now thought to have been hiding out in Guyana since late 2003 when he fled Trinidad after his leader Abu Bakr was charged with conspiracy to murder.
