Dead Australian cameraman not a CIA spy: family

Family and friends of an Australian cameraman killed in Iraq earlier this year have broken their silence to reject allegations he was a CIA spy.
Freelance cameraman Paul Moran, 39, died on March 22 when a car bomb exploded where he was filming for ABC television in northern Iraq.
The Adelaide Advertiser reported Mr Moran had spent more than 10 years assisting the CIA to destabilise the Saddam Hussein regime in Iraq.
However Mr Moran's family have told the Australian Story (ABC TV tonight) his work for a Washington-based public relations company in the 1990s was misconstrued.
He had been hired by the Rendon Group to help Kurds and Iraqis opposed to Hussein establish a television station, and only later learned the client was the CIA, they said.
