Dewey Clarridge
Duane R. "Dewey" Clarridge" (1932-) is a legend of U.S. intelligence and covert operations, who now heads the Eclipse Group, an organization that provided intelligence-related services to the U.S. government and private organizations. He left the Central Intelligence Agency as a result of his activities in the Iran-Contra affair, for which he was convicted of lying to Congress, but pardoned by President George H.W. Bush.
Current activities
The Eclipse Group provided intelligence services to the U.S. government until May 2010, and continues to operate with private funding. Their operations are believed to be most extensive in Afghanistan, where he opposes the rule of President Hamid Karzai and his power-broker half-brother, Ahmed Wali Karzai. Eclipse Group also has operations in Pakistan.[1]
