Porter Goss, (R-FL) is a former CIA agent who left the CIA under clouded circumstances. He was a field agent but was actually forced out because of a trail of bodies that got tagged to him, literally, all over the world.

Porter Goss had been involved in the last-ditch efforts by the CIA to save the CIA-backed and -financed regime of Nicaraguan, tin-horn, right-wing dictator Anastasio Somoza, before Somoza’s fall in
1979. After that the Sandinistas were voted into power.

The CIA knew that the Somoza Regime was falling apart. In 1979, they undertook a last-ditch effort to save the regime by attempting to assassinate the leaders of the then-nascent Sandinista movement, which became a political party shortly thereafter. They attempted to penetrate the ranks of the Sandinistas.

Porter Goss, it’s interesting to note, claimed that he was the one who turned the man who would later become a member of the Sandinista ruling council, Tomas Borges. Borges was subsequently the CIA‘s point man in Nicaragua pursuant to the CIA’s narcotics trafficking during Iran Contra.
