RALEIGH, N.C. June 18, 2004 — A CIA contractor charged with fatally assaulting an Afghan detainee had been fired from a Connecticut police department after an assault 14 years ago and a history of run-ins with wives and neighbors, authorities and acquaintances said.
The contractor, 38-year-old David A. Passaro of Lillington, was charged Thursday with two counts each of assault and assault with a dangerous weapon a flashlight.

Passaro was charged in connection with the June 21, 2003, death of Abdul Wali. Wali had gone to a U.S. base in Afghanistan on his own accord that month and surrendered to authorities. They suspected him of participating in rocket attacks against the base and wanted to talk to him.

A spokeswoman for the Hartford Police Department, Nancy Mulroy, said Passaro graduated in 1990 from the city's police academy but was relieved of duty after he was arrested by state police before completing his probationary period. Though arrested on felony assault charges in the case, he was convicted in July 1991 of breach of peace, state police said. He paid a $100 fine.

OK, so we've got a recidivist domestic abuser and a guy whose neighbors are scared shitless to approach. Yeah, let's support all those brave americans working to free the Iraqi people.

1. This jerk has no place in the CIA...

he would be much better suited to being on the personal staff of someone like Rumsfeld or Tom Delay.
