> The term "agent" in TFA's headline is causing confusion. The actual source quote says "intelligence personnel". Even the article body inexplicably continues to use those terms interchangeably. A CIA agent is typically a foreign individual who has been recruited to provide information to the CIA. However, “asset” is probably the more commonly used term. They are not “intelligence personnel.” A CIA Specialized Skills Officer would be someone that might get to engage in James Bond/Jason Bourne style antics.
