Haisley was the subject of a book called Widows. The author wrote with the guy who wrote this book and his wife wrote a book called Widows. Haisley's career was fascinating. There was a suspicion that he had been recruited by the Russians d…

By the time Bush came on the scene, Paisley was officially retired, but in fact was still working for the CIA. Namely, naming Paisley as a coordinator of the A-Team B-Team experiment was a controversial choice. It meant putting in position …

A subsequent investigation revealed that a body later recovered and initially identified as Paisley was in fact not his. Paisley had never been heard from again. So I briefly looked into that and I don't know whether it really was him and t…

Hank Nolke finds it hard to believe that Paisley was the source of a story that was so badly damaging to the agency. It is worth noting that the leak took place after Jimmy Carter had won the election and Bush had found out that he was not …

as if it was an open goodwill gesture. Rumors that Paisley had defected to the Soviet Union and the fact that the Office of Security had been looking at Paisley's loyalty before he disappeared came back to haunt Turner. He looked foolish in…
