CIA Asset Cooper!

.
What is this post in the "Super Media Blog" trying to say? It was posted today, but the information is really old news; you'd have to be from a light-years away planet from many years ago not to know that Anderson was a CIA intern for a couple of Summers. As for the video that accompanies the article, What does it have to do with the CIA or this article at all? Other than some Shanni-Bo-Banni posted it on YouTube under the channel name, sunrise1834 and, strangely called it "Insanely Hostile CIA Asset Anderson Cooper" (???). "CIA Asset"?! In that case I AM also a CIA asset, not because I spent two Summers at the CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia, but because I think Anderson did a fantastic job grilling this Lt. Col. Lakin -- or rather, involuntarily, his lawyer.

Here is the short article anyway, to remind you of our Silver Fox, otherwise known as CIA Asset Cooper! (the exclamation mark is part of the name.)

Anderson Cooper CIA Intern


Anderson Cooper CIA Intern

Anderson Cooper has long traded on his biography, carving a niche for himself as the most human of news anchors. But there’s one aspect of his past that the silver-haired CNN star has never made public: the months he spent training for a career with the Central Intelligence Agency.

Following his sophomore and junior years at Yale—a well-known recruiting ground for the CIA—Cooper spent his summers interning at the agency’s monolithic headquarters in Langley, Virginia, in a program for students interested in intelligence work. His involvement with the agency ended there, and he chose not to pursue a job with the agency after graduation, according to a CNN spokeswoman, who confirmed details of Cooper’s CIA involvement to Radar.

“Whatever summer jobs or internships our anchors had in college couldn’t be less consequential,” she added. He has kept the experience a secret, sources say, out of concern that, if widely known, it might compromise his ability to travel in foreign countries and even possibly put him at greater risk from terrorists.

“He doesn’t want to be any more of a target than he already is,” says one Anderson confidante.
