One old Mockingbird dies....

[Keith Millea]

The Daily Bellylaugh.

My emphasis in bold:

In those days, according to 1977 investigative reports by Rolling Stone and the New York Times, it was not uncommon for CIA officers to conceal their occupation by working as part-time foreign correspondents or stringers. Reporters for legitimate news organizations were sometimes debriefed by spy agencies after overseas assignments. Such cozy arrangements lasted, in some cases, into the 1970s, when they were increasingly seen as unethical.

:lol::lol::lol::lol:

The subtext of the Washington Post piece is that this is all but a moment in historical time.

Perhaps even an aberration, confined to the 70s.

Nothing like this could ever go on now....

Oh...says the Washington Post.I think they need to go talk to their reporter "Mockingbird" Walter Pincus about that claim....
