George Cave was Ollie North's translator. In the fifties, while working for the CIA in Iran, he foiled a bomb threat intended to kill his boss, Chief of Station there. This was due in great measure to his ability to rapidly learn languages, dialects and completely immerse himself in the cultures of the region. He is a graduate of Princeton University (and not Columbia). He published an article in 1992 in the Washington Post in which he discussed the affiliations between Shiites in Iran and Iraq. Here we see the possible rationale for the invasion of Iraq under the administration of George W Bush. And he was more than just a translator for Ollie North. After that initial meeting he continued to hold ex-officio talks with Iranian officials in London, Paris, and Rome until George Schultz asked Ronald Reagan to end them as they were outside of the State Department's purview and under Mr. Schultz's authority.

So, yes he did indeed work for the CIA, but is not affiliated with any conspiracy theory or theorist. The WIKI should know better?
