Barroso was a nobody during the Portuguese revolution, and he left the maoists shortly after the revolution and moved to the right.

He was never an American 'mole' in those times

He sold it to the Carlyle group, managed by Franck Carlucci (the American Ambassador of Portugal who recruited him, in the meantime he had become General Director of CIA the General Director of the Carlyle Fund, a investment fund that takes care of the fortune of the Bush family and surprisingly, that same Fund manages the Ben Laden fortune as well !!! The Deputies od the Communist party in Portugal make a scandal in Portugal, the sale was cancelled and Barroso was thrown out of the government.
