William Albert Wilson

While Libya was under a travel ban imposed by Ronald Regan - William Wilson traveled there and met with Muammar Qaddafi. To which Qaddafi was quoted saying “an American diplomat had been sent to reduce tensions with Libya”.

Appointed by Ronald Reagan. Wilson resigned from the post just two months after his secret trip to Libya.

Membership of the Knights of Malta was a conflict of interest for Wilson being the Ambassador to the Vatican.
