The murder of Jeffrey Nedoroscik I was in Washington the night this happened, and saw the story on local news. I thought it suspicious then and I think it suspicious still. 12/05/2012 USAID worker identified as man who died in D.C. fire By Wednesday, D.C. police and fire investigators had not determined the cause of the fire, which neighbors said seemed to consume the dwelling in seconds, or of Nedorosciks death Responding to his sons shouts, Juan Burford raced across the street Tuesday night as flames shot from his neighbors rowhouse in the Bloomingdale neighborhood of Northwest Washington.

I shouted, Jeffery! Jeffery! Burford said. But the flames were too hot. The door frame melted. Windows popped, sprinkling shattered glass onto the sidewalk.

I couldnt get near the house, said Burford, a D.C. police officer who was off-duty when he used his radio to call for help about 7:15 p.m. I wanted to get Jeffery. But there was no way.

Jeffery Alan Nedoroscik, 42, died inside the three-story rowhouse in the 1800 block of First Street, where he had lived for two years. He had written two books and traveled the world for the U.S. Agency for International Development. By Wednesday, D.C. police and fire investigators had not determined the cause of the fire, which neighbors said seemed to consume the dwelling in seconds, or of Nedorosciks death. Burford, who has lived on the street for 20 years, said two roommates recently moved out of the rowhouse; Henian Boone had just moved into the basement. Nobody other than Nedoroscik was harmed in the fire, authorities said. A woman who answered the phone at Nedorosciks family home in Sutton, Mass., declined to speak to a reporter.

Officials at USAID issued a statement confirming that our friend and colleague was the victim in the fire. The agency said Nedoroscik worked for many years in Cairo, Africa and Croatia, where he served as an executive officer. Details of Nedorosciks life could be found sprinkled on his Facebook page his friends number in the hundreds and are from throughout the world, from Kabul to Vienna. He wrote The

City of the Dead: A History of Cairos Cemetery Communities a history of that citys ancient burial grounds and Walking in the City of the Dead: A Visitors Guide. Neighbors said they were saddened by Nedorosciks death but also said he sometimes created problems on the block, occasionally banging his sport-utility vehicle into parked cars after drinking. Some linked his troubles to horrors he witnessed in war-torn and impoverished countries, including Rwanda. An arrest warrant in connection with a charge of driving under the influence of alcohol on his block during the summer was still pending at the time of his death, online court records show. On Wednesday, Boone went into the house and salvaged only enough possessions to fill the bottom of a trash bag. I will miss his smile, Boone said. He was a published author. He went all over the world. He will be missed. Jennifer Jenkins contributed to this report.

Wikipedia: USAID Some critics say that the US government gives aid to reward political and military partners rather than to advance genuine social or humanitarian causes abroad. William Blum has said that in the 1960s and early 1970s USAID has maintained a close working relationship with the CIA, and Agency officers often operated abroad under USAID cover. The 1960s-era Office of Public Safety, a now-disbanded division of USAID, has been mentioned as an example of this, having served as a front for training foreign police in counterinsurgency methods (including torture techniques) See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ United_States_Agency_for_International_Development USAID/CIA: it is in the US interests to suppress democracy interview See: http://english.ruvr.ru/2012_10_31/USAID-CIA-it-is-in-theUS-interests-to-suppress-democracy/ See: http://www.usaid.gov/
