Hi Mark..
Veciana’s assertion that Maurice Bishop was an alias used by David A. Phillips is interesting but hardly a revelation. Phillips was known to be a CIA officer and to have used the alias Maurice Bishop. To characterize him as a “field operative” or “long time dirty tricks operative” is a little demeaning for a guy who was, at one time, the head of the Western Hemisphere desk at CIA and, we believe, COS in Mexico City. This is akin to calling Jack Ruby a small time hood from Chicago who was just one of Carlos Marcello’s flunkies when in fact he was much more closely associated with other well known organized crime figures.
David Atlee Phillips was not Chief of Station in Mexico City. That post was filled for many years by veteran CIA man Winston Scott. Phillips was, however, in charge of Cuban Operations at the Mexico City Station in 1963. He was given a “get out of jail free pass” when he avoided being charged with perjury during the HSCA hearings.
