Covert White House Operation in Northern Ireland Former Intelligence Operative Reveals Airplanes-for-Food Scheme ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- By MARVIN LEE ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- While in public mediating as a neutral arbitrator between the two sides of the conflict in Northern Ireland, the White House has run a covert operation aimed at supporting one side financially. That revelation was made last week by a former intelligence operative who was asked to join the operation in 1997. L.D. Brown in his new book "Crossfire," released last week, recounts how that offer was made to him at 2 a.m. on a bus in the English countryside by an intelligence operative by the name of T. John McBrearty. "He would fly in food to the former Soviet states and in return he would receive airplane parts. At times, he said, he would receive entire airplanes like an intact Sukhoi-29 fighter which he said he had flown to Ireland where he maintained an office," Brown writes of McBrearty, who proceeded to outline who was behind the operation: "You know L. D., we could use a man like you in this operation," he said, as I was now leaning toward him to catch every word. Going deeper, he asked me, "You know what a proprietary is don't you?" I knew that after I had flown on the airplane trips with [Barry] Seal and the subsequent Iran-Contra hearings that proprietaries were the cutout fake airline companies C. I. A. set up to facilitate their business. I was waiting for the other shoe to drop, or maybe the gun to go off. Here I was in the middle of the English countryside, alone with a guy who had obviously been sent by the C. I. A. to get me involved in another operation--and Bill Clinton was involved in some way. The connection to Bill Clinton and the White House would become more obvious to Brown through the names of some involved in the operation, including Clinton financial backer Jackson Stephens: I would soon learn that it would also be an attempt to keep me out of the country. John said I would accompany him on airplane trips out of the country as well. He told me he would soon be flying to Brazzaville, Congo with a load of food for example. "You've heard of Southern Air Transport?" he asked, again knowing my answer. "Sure, in Florida," I answered, familiar with S. A. T. having been a C. I. A. proprietary. "Well, I fly some of these airplane parts to Florida. You know, Jack Stephens buys some of them, and we go on from there." He was referring to Jackson Stephens the billionaire Clinton supporter at whose house I had met John Glenn. But there was more. "L. D., a lady by the name of Nancy Soderberg is involved in this. She works for Clinton as an adviser on Northern Ireland," he explained, as the machinations of how the operation worked began to unfold. John told me of a plant that makes electronic equipment in Ireland near the border with Northern Ireland. Being familiar with the 'troubles' between the Northern Protestants and the Catholic Irish Republicans, I realized what he was saying. The goal was to provide employment to the Irish near the border who were sympathetic to the Irish Republicans. The money made from the airplane trips would fund these activities. He told me Soderberg would soon be leaving her position and would be focusing on the operation. Nancy Soderberg was at the time deputy staff director at the White House National Security Council. But McBrearty had a more immediate role for Brown: "I want you to call James Carville and work with him to get the intelligence agencies off our ass." L.D. Brown, who at the time was studying for a Ph.D. in England and was looking for a job, considered the offer for a while and stayed in contact with McBrearty. Brown consulted friends, some knowledgeable in the field of intelligence, for advice. They warned him of potential hidden motives for getting him involved in the operation. Through those consultations, however, part of the story leaked to the press causing Brown to fear potential consequences to him and his family. R. Emmett Tyrrell, editor of the American Spectator, wrote of a $300,000 offer to L. D. Brown from the Clinton administration, without revealing details of the offer. Those details have not been revealed until the release of Brown's book last week. [L. D.
