George Cave was Ollie North's translator. In the fifties, while working for the CIA in Iran, he foiled a bomb threat intended to kill his boss, Chief of Station there. This was due in great measure to his ability to rapidly learn languages, dialects and immerse himself in the cultures of the region. He is a graduate of Princeton University (and not Columbia).

Here we see the possible rationale for the invasion of Iraq under the administration of George W Bush. And he was more than just a translator for Ollie North. After that initial meeting he continued to hold ex-officio talks with Iranian officials in Paris until George Schultz asked Ronald Reagan to end them as they were outside of the State Department's purview and under Mr. Schultz's authority.
