"The 007 of Warsaw": Polish CIA airport man, ex-Iraq hostage!

[scoopmeister]

I'm posting this on DU because I think people here will truly connect the dots on this bizzare tale of how a Polish man named Jerzy Kos (insert your own Daily Kos joke here) ran the CIA's favorite airport in Poland, then ended up as a Baghdad contractor, and then a hostage freed under mysterious circumstances. Put on your tin-foil hats, and feel free to read the whole strange story at Attytood:

"In 2003, Kos -- who is apparently in his 50s -- was the manager of the obscure air field in northern Poland where it's now alleged that the CIA landed several flights with terror suspects, including a leased Boeing 737 en route from Afghanistan to the U.S. detention center at Guantanamo Bay.

That alone is newsworthy -- and that happened before Kos ended up in Baghdad with a major construction contract, was taken hostage by terrorists and freed by U.S. commandos, and finally was accused by the leftist Italian newspaper of carrying out a secret mission to free the three Italian hostages held captive with him -- with the help of a microchip planted inside of his body.

Whew! And you thought you had an interesting last year or two!"
