Date: Wed, 24 Dec 1997 19:19:00 -0500 (EST) From: louisgodena-AT-ids.net (Louis R Godena) Subject: M-I: Romanian charges? Does anyone know anything about the claims of Romanian (ex) foreign minister Adrian Severin to the effect that a number of politicians and journalists had been in the employ of the American CIA? There was an official inquiry, which of course found no one culpable, but a story in Reuters this morning raised the charge that Romania was one of a number of eastern countries that were linked by a US financed "fifth column" stretching back to 1980. There are veiled references to the Romanian charges in today's *Financial Times* (p 2), but nothing about the wider suspicions. Last July, the Lebanese newspaper that broke Iran-Contra published an article by a former KGB colonel who charged that the current Polish PM (Solidarity) was in the pay of a "CIA-directed" spy network in eastern Europe. The paper went on to name a number of prominent Hungarian and Romanian politicians as also being involved, but cited no evidence. Any one know anything about this?
