CIA Agents Not Feeling So Lucky: Internet Reveals Cover Stories
from the whoops dept
In the information age, it appears, coming up with a decent cover story while being a CIA agent is increasingly difficult. In fact, some enterprising reporters used some free and fee-based internet services to uncover all sorts of information about CIA agents and CIA-owned locations. The article is a bit vague in how they worked all this out -- but you have to imagine that's on purpose. However, the basic conclusion is that the CIA needs to recognize that doing a bit of sleuthing online gives a lot of people a lot more to work with than they had in the past -- and cover stories can be much more easily checked out. The fact that they're just now realizing this is a bit worrisome.

T'would make the most sense Wolfger.
The question would be what did they do that caused someone to feel malicious enough to let that happen. If you're in the C. I. A. you have a security clearance. You have access to intel that others do not. The media would attack for that purpose and that purpose only. If they felt something was being covered up. Which with this administration be sure to know that they know there are cover-ups.
Especially the media who went an entire year not mentioning the fact the person who is supposed to uphold our constitution decided to throw the fourth ammendment out the window without asking the people first who he has to ask. The media is worldwide. You cannot expect them to leave the United States alone if the rest of the world is placed under scrutiny.
The other side to that is what does our Govt. do in this aspect as a cover-up and have you ever even thought of which dept. is in charge of this affair. If so why would they be covering things up that should be open knowledge and working on covering the things up that should not be public knowledge instead.

Yeahhhh...
...I, recently, had a court date for a trespassing charge but I forgot what date I had to go to court. So I went to some site, typed in my name, city and state - and VOILA!! "Trespassing - pending judgement on March 9, 2006."
Thank God I didn't miss my court date.
