  • Comment: There are way too many WEASEL words and FLOWERY language in this draft. Drop all of the "world-renowned" stuff. Additionally, saying "he's been quoted by tons of sources!" and then providing a huge wall of citations is improper. A PR guy is going to be quoted (it's his job). Either say why he was quoted or lose the unnecessary references. That being said, interviews and other sources directly connected to Cucciniello are PRIMARY and are discouraged.

Armand Cucciniello III (b. 7 December 1979; also known as Armand Cucciniello, Armand V. Cucciniello, Armand V. Cucciniello III) is a public relations and communications executive, writer, political and international affairs commentator; a former American diplomat and journalist.[1] He has appeared on CNN, National Public Radio (NPR), and other news media outlets,[2] commenting on political and international affairs, and discussing developments during the Iraq war.

His work has been used and cited by think-tanks like the Center for Strategic and International Studies,[3] scholars and authors writing on foreign policy[4][5], South Asia[6][7], and the Middle East,[8] the U.S. government, and the U.S. military.[9]

Cucciniello was a spokesperson for the U.S. embassy in Baghdad from 2006 until 2010.

Education

Cucciniello is a graduate of Boston University, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in 2002.[10]

He subsequently attended The Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University where he earned a Master of Arts degree (2004)[11] and was a Foreign Language and Area Studies National Resource Fellow.[12] [13]

Cucciniello graduated[14] from Seton Hall Preparatory School in 1998.[15][16]

Career and Professional Life

Subsequent to his time in Boston, he worked for the Center For Strategic and International Studies[17] and The Rendon Group, Inc., a global public relations and strategic communications firm based in Washington, D.C.

India

Cucciniello lived in India twice: First in 2001 as a student in Mysore at the Dhvanyaloka Centre For Indian Studies;[18] and subsequently working as a reporter for Dow Jones Newswires in New Delhi and Mumbai.[13]

While in Mysore, Cucciniello was a student of the renowned Indian archaeologist and epigraphist M.S. Nagaraja Rao; and scholar H.V. Nagaraja Rao, a world authority on Sanskrit.[19] Aside from studying archaeology, South Asian languages, and contemporary political science Cucciniello conducted primary research in southern India on the then-nascent and budding information technology (IT) industry[20], which had been mostly forming in and around nearby Bangalore and Hyderabad. Cucciniello's work, conducted at an exceptionally young age, was noticed by leading Indian journalist and head of Dow Jones India Mr. Suman Dubey - a very close friend of the late Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi and his wife, the Italian-born politician Sonia Gandhi.[21]

In 2003 Dubey invited Cucciniello to come work in New Delhi as a reporter for the newswire to cover IT, among other topics. From Mumbai, Cucciniello was one of the first to report internationally on India as a thriving, global hub for what became known as business processing outsourcing, or simply "outsourcing."[22] He also reported[23][24] on political affairs,[25] macroeconomics,[26][27] agriculture,[28] and the textile industry.[29]

Iraq

Armand Cucciniello III in Baghdad, Iraq. September 2006.

In 2006 Cucciniello moved to Baghdad, Iraq to work for Multi-National Force-Iraq (MNF-I).

Shortly thereafter he was hired by the U.S. Department of State to work in the Public Affairs Section at the U.S. embassy, located in the former Republican Palace (Arabic: القصر الجمهوري al-Qaṣr al-Ǧumhūriy) of Saddam Hussein.[1][13] As such Cucciniello was made a non-career U.S. diplomat.[10] He served as a spokesman for the U.S. embassy and has been quoted in news media outlets like The New York Times, Associated Press, Agence France-Presse, CBS News, NBC, CNN, McClatchy Newspapers, Sky News, The Guardian, The Telegraph, and others, providing information about political developments[30] during the war[31], the trials of Saddam Hussein[32][33], diplomatic activity[34], Iran[35], and the U.S. embassy. [36] He was also a writer for the U.S. Department of State, writing about Iraqi rule of law;[37] art, culture[38], and sports programs[39]; and anti-corruption.[40]

Some of Cucciniello's experiences in Iraq were documented in the 2007 book Baghdad: Journal of A Reporter (French: Bagdad, Journal d'un Reporter) by the AFP reporter Patrick Fort, and he was a contributor to many titles documenting and covering the war.[41]

While in Iraq, Cucciniello befriended Andrea Parhamovich, a National Democratic Institute employee killed in January 17, 2007 in Baghdad when her convoy was ambushed as she was returning from teaching a class on democracy to Iraqis. Parhamovich was the subject of the book I Lost My Love in Baghdad: A Modern War Story, written by her fiancé and Newsweek reporter Michael Hastings.[42] Cucciniello was also a good friend of Hastings, who died on June 18, 2013 in an automobile crash in Los Angeles, California.[43]

Saddam Hussein and The Iraqi High Tribunal

Cucciniello was responsible for overseeing news media and logistical operations at the Iraqi High Tribunal (IHT)[44], a court established under Iraqi law to try Iraqis or residents accused of genocide, war crimes, and other crimes against humanit[45]y, or other serious crimes committed by Saddam Hussein and his Ba'ath Party regime. As such, Cucciniello was one of the few Americans to witness and be present at the trial of Saddam Hussein[46]; and other Ba'ath Party officials and top-tier henchmen of Hussein like Ali Hassan "Chemical Ali" Al-Majid, Tarik Aziz, (Foreign Minister) Sultan Hashim Ahmad al-Taih (Minister of Defence), Hussein Rashid Moal-Takriti.[47]

Camp Ashraf and the Mojahedin-e-Khal (MEK)

In December 2008 Cucciniello was one of the few American diplomats to have ever visited Camp Ashraf.[48] The camp was the former headquarters of the exiled Iranian group known as the People's Mojahedin of Iran (PMOI) or the Mojahedin-e-Khalq (MEK) (Persian: سازمان مجاهدين خلق ايران‎‎ Sāzmān-e mojāhedin-e khalq-e irān), an Iranian opposition movement in exile, founded in 1965, that actively and has sometimes violently advocated for the overthrow of the Islamic Republic of Iran. There Cucciniello met Mehdi Baraie, a senior official of the PMOI who had signed the ceasefire and mutual understanding agreement with US forces in April 2003.[49] At the time, in 2008, tensions within the camp were high as the Iraqi government had assumed responsibility for all residents on January 1 under the terms of a U.S.-Iraq security agreement. Residents were fearful of being left at the mercy of the new Iraqi government, which had been hostile to the MEK and the camp residents.[50]

Pakistan

In Pakistan Cucciniello managed a counternarcotics and counter-narcoterrorism project for the U.S. Department of Defense through the Office of Defense Representative - Pakistan (ODRP).[51]
