Roland Haas, Enter the Past Tense (CIA, Assassin)

[chowder130]

Assassins are so cool. I'm gonna be an assassin.

[rayrayjetplane]

He is amazing. My mother and him both work for the government in the same office. I find it so cool that they work in the same office. His book is great. Durrnesque's statement "Anyone who knows him and has read the book will tell you it's the truth," is completely true.

[kforc11]

I just finished the book and I thought it was amazing!

[tayje16]

it's a great book about a great guy! everyone should go buy it right now!

[deputyG2]

This book has been accepted for sale by the U.S. Military Academy (West Point). Just how much vetting will it take to put a lid on Frenchie?

[deputyG2]

I am the author of the book I don't often react to negative criticism, but I feel that 'Frenchie' needs his own reality check. He belongs to a group of enlisted/NCOs who are/were in special forces. I have the highest respect for what they have done and continue to do. Unfortunately, they all seem to suffer from the same two problems:

1) They feel that only they would be capable of doing these missions.

2) They think that if they don't know about an operation, it didn't happen.

Arrogant?

[Durrnesque]

Frenchie, until you've met him as AW and I have, you're never going to believe it. So why bother continuing to post about it? I've known his family for years, first off, they wouldn't lie, and secondly, the evidence is written on his face and in their family history. Anyone who knows him and has read the book will tell you it's the truth.

[Durrnesque]

I know he and his family as well, and wish you could meet him Frenchie, because then you'd see what's in the book isn't fantasy, but hauntingly real.

When I was in the Army Ranger's in the late 70's I was offered a job with CIA, but I lacked sufficient language skills at the time, and then I lost interest. One of my Green Beret instructors was a CIA operative. He also became a very good friend of mine.

[dunpeal51890]

yeah, I know about the "wet boy" service, my dad got offered the job, but turned it down, he says that the CIA kills their own and didn't want to die just because he had found out something he wasn't supposed to.

[jon2xu]

Is this for real?????

[Damien5254]

Yes it is. I know the man, and I've read the book. I've seen the book. I would bet my own life on his honesty.

[tayje16]

me too ;)

[Damien5254]

Correction: I've seen the proof.

[frenchie00007]

Most likely the last to admitt they were fooled will be family and close friends but they will be the most unforgiving and rightfully so. I have a life - and not just in my head :)

[deputyG2]

From Roland Haas - the author.

Frenchie and his pals have told me that the only way they will buy into my story is if I,

1) provide actual pictures of the targeted killings. Sorry, but I did not take a camera crew with me.

2) get a high level (Tier 1 Desk) CIA official to admit that they were the one who ordered the missions. This can't happen as anybody in such a position in the Agency who admits to such things will be signing up for their own termination (and not just their job)

I only hope you are not so nieve....

[frenchie00007]

Has anyone confirmed anything yet NO....will they ever NO. The facts will speak for themselves. I have a life and it's not a delution or some scam to pick up a buck. You bought some swampland my friend happens to all us us once in our lives. Hopefully not twice. Buck up it aint so bad hes the liar not you.

[awphollywood]

I know this man and his family. He is "for real." Shame we can't trust ANYTHING anyone says anymore.

[GAFrontPage]

Hi all who'd like to comment. We have no problem posting comments as long as you leave out the profanity...

[frenchie00007]

Sir

you need to check out SOCNET look under the book reviews....all vetted

[socold12]

Frenchie, you think this is a scam? Get a life.

[frenchie00007]

I know it is...and if you defend him a fool you will be made.

No worries

[frenchie00007]

Mr. Hass,

Please have ONE "teir one" deskjockey confirm your tale ????? Please don't be so disrespectful of those whom do put their lives on the line for this country.

Frenchie

[frenchie00007]

Total fantacy...when you write something like this you are obligated to produce evidence of facts and it will not happen in this case.....because it is fantacy or worse.

[frenchie00007]

Someone needs to verify this mess...anyone knowing ANYTHING about the clandestine service nows this is a major fraud. ANYONE
