I read an article in Reuters that made me think. Especially this nugget:
Whelan served with the Marine Corps Reserve from 2003-2008, much of the time as an administrative clerk in Iraq. At the end of that period, he was dishonourably discharged for larceny and other lesser offences, after being found to have tried to steal $10,000.
He was once the head of security for Borg Warner, a pretty large company. How does a company of that size hire anyone with a BCD as head of security? Either the article is fictional (it came from Reuters) or he's not who everyone thinks he is.
