And the CIA has better shooters then the US Army? Man, something is way screwed up with that. The whole story sounds totally ridiculous. Every news out let in the world would be going crazy.
God Almighty himself couldn’t keep something like this quiet.
Dont know about God Almighty but I will tell you this. The CIA can kill you and you wouldnt know it till you wake up in heaven.
And not a GD word would be said.
Your assumptions that the media would be going crazy, that a fight between American factions would need to be pre-approved by the host country, that it would occur in a public place with tons of witnesses are just that. Assumptions. Did it happen? Damned if I know, but your reasons that support your claim that it is “impossible” are nonsensical. Crazy shit happens ALL THE TIME that nobody ever hears about or sees. I don’t think the media were invited to any party that might have occurred - they are part of the enemy coalition, IIRC. If the CIA was defending some location they could easily have taken out some of the attackers without necessarily being “better shooters”. In short, you are making assumptions that do not withstand scrutiny.
I don't know about this story, but the CIA does have military operatives. At least they used to so I figure they do now.
Years ago a friend was trying to avoid the draft and signed up for a government job in Virginia. It turned out to be the CIA. They were looking for people to fight in either Laos or Cambodia - not in Vietnam. They had been told that if they were killed the government would deny many/most/all information. Fortunately for him the war was ending.
