    how do any of us know? i've read a fair amount of commentary from former agents that cuts both ways. does anyone have a link to any official CIA statements in this regard? and in any case, i'm not sure NOC status is material to the statute. one can be undercover w/ out have non-official status.

    Can one have non-official status while at the same time not being undercover?

    Do you remember, your President Nixon?
    Do you remember, the bills you have to pay
    Or even yesterday?
    Have you have been an un-American?
    Just you and your idol singing falsetto 'bout
    Leather, leather everywhere, and
    Not a myth left from the ghetto
    Well, well, well, would you carry a razor
    In case, just in case of depression?
    Sit on your hands on a bus of survivors
    Blushing at all the afro-Sheilas
    Ain't that close to love?
    Well, ain't that poster love?
    Well, it ain't that Barbie doll
    Her heart's been broken just like you have
    All night
    You want the young American
    Young American, young American, you want the young American
    All right
    You want the young American
    You ain't a pimp and you ain't a hustler
    A pimp's got a Cadi and a lady got a Chrysler
    Black's got respect, and white's got his soul train
    Mama's got cramps, and look at your hands ache
    (I heard the news today, oh boy)
    I got a suite and you got defeat
    Ain't there a man you can say no more?
    And, ain't there a woman I can sock on the jaw?
    And, ain't there a child I can hold without judging?
    Ain't there a pen that will write before they die?
    Ain't you proud that you've still got faces?
    Ain't there one damn song that can make me
    break down and cry?
    All night
    I want the young American
    Young American, young American, I want the young American
    All right
    I want the young American

    I'm closer to the Golden Dawn
    Immersed in Crowley's uniform
    Of imagery
    I'm living in a silent film
    Portraying
    Himmler's sacred realm
    Of dream reality
    I'm frightened by the total goal
    Drawing to the ragged hole
    And I ain't got the power anymore
    No I ain't got the power anymore

    I'm the twisted name
    on Garbo's eyes
    Living proof of
    Churchill's lies
    I'm destiny
    I'm torn between the light and dark
    Where others see their targets
    Divine symmetry
    Should I kiss the viper's fang
    Or herald loud
    the death of Man
    I'm sinking in the quicksand
    of my thought
    And I ain't got the power anymore

    Don't believe in yourself
    Don't deceive with belief
    Knowledge comes
    with death's release

    I'm not a prophet
    or a stone age man
    Just a mortal
    with the potential of a superman
    I'm living on
    I'm tethered to the logic
    of Homo Sapien
    Can't take my eyes
    from the great salvation
    Of bull**** faith
    If I don't explain what you ought to know
    You can tell me all about it
    On, the next Bardo
    I'm sinking in the quicksand
    of my thought
    And I ain't got the power anymore

    BS.

    Patrick Fitzgerald is the one doing the digging and he certainty is not on a political fun run.

    You are giving the 2002-2003 spineless Democrats way more credit than they deserve.

    (Hey, it ain't over)
    Me, I hope that I'm crazy
    I feel you driving and rolling the wheel
    Slow down, let someone love you
    Ohh, I've never touched you since I started to feel
    If there's nothing to hide me
    Then you've never seen me hanging naked and wired
    Somebody lied, but I say it's hip
    To be alive

    Now your smile is spreading thin
    Seems you're trying not to lose
    Since I'm not supposed to grin
    All you've got to do is win
    (that's all ya gotta do)

    We passed upon the stair, we spoke of was and when
    Although I wasn't there, he said I was his friend
    Which came as some surprise I spoke into his eyes
    I thought you died alone, a long long time ago

    Oh no, not me
    I never lost control
    You're face to face
    With The Man Who Sold The World

    ChInA Girl

    I could escape this feeling with my China Girl
    I feel a wreck without my little China Girl
    I hear her heart beating loud as thunder
    Saw they stars crashing

    I'm a mess without my little China Girl
    Wake up mornings where's my little China Girl
    I hear her heart's beating loud as thunder
    Saw they stars crashing down

    I feel a-tragic like I'm Marlon Brando
    When I look at my China Girl
    I could pretend that nothing really meant too much
    When I look at my China Girl

    I stumble into town just like a sacred cow
    Visions of swastikas in my head
    Plans for everyone
    It's in the whites of my eyes

    My little China Girl
    You shouldn't mess with me
    I'll ruin everything you are

    I'll give you television
    I'll give you eyes of blue
    I'll give you men who want to rule the world

    And when I get excited
    My little China Girl says
    Oh baby just you shut your mouth
    She says ... sh-sh-shhh

    There was an article in this very thread by a fellow CIA agent that mentioned it.

    Furthermore a couple of judges saw merit in the case to proceed, The CIA themselves believed that a crime had been committed and got the justice department involved.

    I would think that if she wasn't no judge would have agreed to proceed, the CIA wouldn't have brought in the justice department etc. I don't see why a colleague of hers would claim she was NOC when she wasn't really.

    Eitherway it is a matter of record, and it isn't a debate point.

    Another collegue has claimed she wasn't, and to my knowledge the CIA has made no official announcement, so unless you can prove otherwise, it is not a matter of record and is open to debate.

    Official status of all agents are a matter of record.

    We may not know the status of them all, but they are certainly a matter of record. The CIA has access to all of the records. After reviewing their own records they believed the matter was serious enough to call in the justice department and have them take legal action.

    Actually CIA officials have spoken on the matter.

    This even talks about the front company that was blown as result of this whole mess.

    As it mentions here it blew one of our sources for intel in SAUDI ARABIA, and the MIDDLE EAST(listening Giddy?).

    You are defending the outing the of an agent and this company which the CIA feels hampers their effort to conduct intel a part of the world that is a hotbed of terrorism.

    not defending the "outing" of an agent, i'm questioning her status. you've provided nothing to support your claim of official NOC status. there is plenty of counterveiling evidence. until you can show some sort of official CIA pronouncement this will remain open for debate. the wikipedia link is laughable...

    Oh well if you pronounce it laughable then it can't be of any value, despite being extensively backed up with facts, articles and loads of evidence all linked in the wikipedia article itself.

    In addition wikipedia by its very nature isn't partisan, and has a warning if the neutrality of the article is in question. But despite well documented claims by the CIA on her status you said it was laughable, so it must not be anygood. I'm glad that I have your undocumented word on the matter, instead of that annoying wikipedia and all their annoying documentation including official action and statements by the CIA.
