Sorry but you are 100% wrong on this. CIA agents are government employees and as such
have no right to keep their identities and activities secret from their employers (for
those in Rio Linday that is us, We the People)[Some exception can be made for ongoing
covert operations not the 50yr old operation we are discussing here]. It is ludicrous
to claim that the descendent of a CIA agent has any rights concerning any information
about them.
My mind boggles that such simple concepts need be debated here. I have to rate this
post right up there with one I received on another list were the poster wants to
nationalize e-mail delivery!!
