Up close, Michele Bachmann’s secret-agent political organizer looked more like Elmer Gantry than James Bond | by Andrew Rice | Capital New York

LAGOS—As Michele Bachmann and her true-believing entourage begin to come under closer scrutiny, Garance Franke-Ruta of the Atlantic has come up with a spectacular revelation: One of the Republican candidate’s organizers was once imprisoned on terrorism charges in the East African nation of Uganda.

Peter Waldron, an evangelical minister who told the publication that he is doing outreach on Bachmann’s behalf to the born-again community, spent more than a month in Kampala’s Luzira Prison in 2006, and possesses a resume more in keeping with a spy novel than a presidential campaign. Among other things, the Atlantic item reports, Waldron is now promoting an autobiographical movie on his website that asks, teasingly, “was he a businessman, a preacher, a spy?” Franke-Ruta adds that “one man who knew Waldron in 2004 told The St. Petersburg Times in 2006 that Waldron had told him he used to work for the CIA.”

I bring this up because I happen to be that man who knew Waldron.

this guy could be Zygi Wilf’s brother!
