Recruited by Lawrence Eagleburger as Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Management...

BTW, Eagleburger was Secretary of State for just over a month, December 8, 1992 ? January 20, 1993, unless you count his time as Acting Secretary from August 23, 1992 - December 8, 1992 (just over 3 months).
Pieczenik was NOT a US Navy Captain. He was a USPHS - United States Public Health Service Captain; while the insignia and ranks are similar to the US Navy, the USPHS is a non-military organization.
The right-wing is chock full of conspiracy nutjobs like Pieczenik that make wild sensational claims while presenting absolutely zero proof.

Like I said, contrary to what was in the post that you initially made (and has been repeated numerous times by conspiracy websites as evidence of his bona fides),
Pieczenik was NOT a US Navy Captain.
His own Bio page makes no mention of his having been Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Management, as your initial post and the Wikipedia entry infer, and I could find no independent corroborating evidence that he ever held that title.
Instead, he writes, "Deputy Assistant Secretary of State and/or Senior Policy Planner under Secretaries Henry Kissinger, Cyrus Vance, George Schultz and James Baker."
There is a significant difference between being a Deputy Assistant Sec. of State, and a Senior Policy Planner, but Pieczenik deliberately blurs that distinction. I could not find much on the internet about Pieczenik's great accomplishments other than what he wrote about himself, and the disinformation circulated by conspiracy theorists such as in the initial post of yours that I cited.
BTW, it's been about 20+ years since Baker, et al, left office.
Gee, why is it that Kissinger, Vance, Shultz or Baker, or any of Pieczenik's other former bosses don't make the same claims that he has, or backed-up Pieczenik's claims?
