The line I quoted was from the article linked. It was the "investigative reporter" who drew the connection between the CIA, WG, Southern and the Neffs. I was making fun of his total lack of investigative ability whatsoever.
I also like how he insinuated in the article that there is in fact no market for cut flowers out of South America, so the WG cover story must be exactly that; a cover story.

Come on guys, any witness account of this detail would be greatly appreciated. Just got to learn if anything at all happened like…”Inspector wants to know why the chopped up cadaver Bwana?” No idea. “How come you land Harare?” Couldn’t phone patch a re-clear. “What’s re-clear?” FAA requirement. “What! Who does that money belong to?” Not me. “Who is the Pakistani to you?” The airline sent him. “What airline is this, who you work for?” We work for Aeropartners in Lakewood Ranch. “Where is this?” Huh, you can google it, near Sarasota. Mr. Neff leases the airplane to Western Global down in Ft. Myers, which is kinda funny because he owns that too, ha, ha. “Kudu wabi reesh dib dib. Maba kotto shab watta annie..morons” Inspector say collect your personal items Bwana, we go station now.”

The Western Global Airlines (WGA) MD-11 freighter in which the body of a stowaway was found on in Harare, Zimbabwe, has finally completed its journey after leaving Africa at the weekend.
A deceased man was found on the aircraft, which was carrying a shipment for the South African Reserve Bank on 14 February and had been holed up in Harare while investigations into the incident took place.
The MD-11 was leased by WGA to Network Airline Management and had flown from Munich (Germany).
WGA chief executive officer, Jim Neff says: “We are pleased to report that the Western Global MD-11 aircraft and crew which had been held in Harare, Zimbabwe safely departed the Harare International Airport last night with all its cargo onboard and successfully completed the last leg of its charter flight from Germany to South Africa.
“Last night, the Zimbabwean Civil Aviation Authority and its other government agencies completed their investigation into the presence of a deceased stowaway aboard this aircraft with no finding of any wrongdoing on the part of the company or our crew.
“Our thanks go out to Zimbabwe’s officials and citizens who treated our crew respectfully and considerately throughout this event. We are also immensely grateful to the US Department of State, the US Embassy staff in Zimbabwe, the government of South Africa and to our flight support and management team who assisted our crew on the ground.
“The highest praise, however, goes to our flight crew who at every step of this matter conducted themselves with the utmost poise and professionalism.”
The MD-11 had stopped to refuel at Harare’s domestic airport when the Civil Aviation Authority of Zimbabwe (CAAZ) discovered the body in the lower compartment and impounded the aircraft
