An ABC Story on Aragoncillo.

"There's a lot of things this person could have access to, and the Philippines would want to know, 'What is the U.S. going to do?'" explained Jack Cloonan, a former FBI agent who is now a consultant for ABC News. "'What are they going to give us in terms of military support? What decisions are they going to make about us?'"

At the time of the recruitment, Aragoncillo was working as an intelligence analyst for Vice President Al Gore. He later told Philippine television that he was eager to stay in the White House and work for Vice President Dick Cheney.

"Because with the change of administration, everybody was asked if they wanted to stay and asked me, and I said, 'Well, I don't have to think twice. I will not think twice about staying here,'" he said.

Officials say even after Philippine President Estrada was forced out of office for corruption, Aragoncillo continued to feed him secret files in an apparent attempt to start a coup.

I just did a Technorati search on Aragoncillo and found some leftist bloggers blaming all of this on President Bush. It isn't President Bush with the Erap ABC story. Erap has admitted to receiving the files pilfered by Aragoncillo (which was done at the FBI not at the Whitehouse) The article does not mention Mark Jimenez.
