Well that would be mostly semantics since Shaw's duties were allegedly to report on what he saw on his trips to foreign countries that would be of interest to CIA. This is in the context that Shaw was a normal international trade businessman whom CIA tapped for information. I'd have no doubt that Shaw's personal occupation was a front for being a CIA agent considering his background and involvement in the assassination. CIA often posed its agents as businessmen. So it's hard to see Shaw as a domestic contract agent considering his business was overseas, especially Permindex. You have to imagine Shaw was involved in financing and coordinating european Gladio operations, a pretty serious level operator. Which would explain his involvement in the assassination. CNN is almost doing devilish taunting when it calls Shaw "a good soldier".
