Yes.  I've read,and talked or exchanged letters with, Fertiq, as well as 
Blackburn and a number of others while they were still alive.  And your 
example of Willoughby fighting the Navy, while true, did not take place 
until after the guerrillas were already up an running.  AIB also was a 
latecomer, so to speak.
There is a SWPA Intelligence study under WWII on Carlisle's web site on 
guerrilla resistance in the PI.

But, we'd better take this discussion to  MILHST-L or WWII-L, where it 
belongs.

It is also a good question about how much the CIA actually had to offer in 
the first place, even it there had been good communication/information 
exchange between FECOM and the CIA, since when the KW began the Agency had 
only a station chief, one case officer and a typist, all at the Embassy.
