The frauds are everywhere....... Fox News is catching up to CNN as far as credibility. Quoting from frauds and former army E-5's. Yup everyone's a terrorism "expert". At least until they are exposed as the frauds they really are.... Well done Foxnews, let's hear from some more "covert operations" specialists/experts.
This guy sounds a lot like someone I knew, now who could that be? :rolleyes:
Fox News even did a story (http://www.foxnews.com/us/2011/08/30/army-green-beret-impersonator-in-maryland-gets-21-months-in-prison/) on him.
You'd think they'd learn.
He claimed to be ex-CIA and was quoted as an expert on Fox News. Prosecutors say it was a lie.

Wayne Simmons claimed to be something of an American James Bond. On his Web site and in official, government documents, he wrote that he was part of the CIA’s “outside paramilitary special operations group,” and that he spearheaded deep cover operations against some of the world’s most dangerous drug cartels and smugglers.
His claims won him frequent commenting gigs on Fox News and government contracting jobs overseas. He even wrote a novel — a spy thriller that seemed to have been drawn from his work.
But according to federal prosecutors, much of it was a lie. In an indictment unsealed Thursday, they said Simmons’s claim that he worked for the CIA for 27 years was false. He was arrested and charged with false statements, major fraud against the U.S. and wire fraud.
