Caveat ADM. THOMAS WILSON DENIES THAT THIS MEETING TOOK PLACE. This link is sourced to what these private notes record, not to anything established. The document is marked support:false and is not counted toward this project's sourcing figure. THE TITLE ON THIS LINK IS NOT SOURCED, AND IS DELIBERATELY LEFT AS IT STANDS. What IS sourced: Patrick Hughes was Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency 1996-99, so in 1997 - the period the Wilson-Davis memo describes - Wilson was junior to him. That relationship is the claim this link makes and it holds. What is NOT sourced: that Wilson's post was "Deputy Director of DIA". No source found establishes he ever held that title; the posts attributable to him below flag rank are Joint Staff posts - Vice Director of Intelligence, and Director of Intelligence (J2) - which is a different organisation, and no dates were found for either. Checked 30 August 2026. Replacing one unsourced title with another would read as a correction and be a guess, so the wording stands and this caveat says why.
