If you were not a member of the CIA you are simply relaying the actions/statements of people you knew were in the CIA. That's fine, but that's still second hand by definition. You cannot presume to know the actions/ages/mindset of the entire intelligence sector of this country simply because you knew some people in it. That would be like me saying I know how all TV field reporters do their jobs because I worked with one. I don't know and I'm not gonna pretend I know. I know how the one I worked with operated and that's it. This reporter who wrote the story obviously did some work to get that information and found something that lead him to believe that otherwise he wouldn't have published it. Furthermore, the CIA is not going to admit they had them do it. Even if they had ID it does not absolve them of breaking and entering so this whole "They didn't have ID" bit is silly.
So its ok for you to say YOU know better because you "reported" on things, but my working side by side with them is "second hand"... I am not presuming I know about ALL of the intel community when I AM speaking on these 4 individuals. From MY experiance I CAN say these four don't fit the mold and IMO are NOT spooks...as I have been saying all along. I am not pretending anything. I am relating actual working experiance to THIS incident and the OP article about a CIA angle. For ME it doesn't fit and that again is coming from MY experiance.
The reporter who wrote the story is doing what I am doing and as you pointed out, he was lead to believe, as I am lead to believe they are NOT CIA anything. And I think we all know the CIA will never "claim" to know these guys, but again as much as you want to dismiss it and call it silly, the ID's is one of the BIGGEST "clues" that the CIA didn't have their hands in this....again IMO
ADDING: Again if they were used by the CIA as a smoke screen...that I DO agree with and could see happening...
