1990s late : (ANN PINCUS TRANSFERS TO OFFICE OF RESEARCH AND MEDIA REACTION AT STATE DEPT BUREAU OF INTELLIGENCE AND RESEARCH, THE SAME OFFICE WHICH WOULD 'LOSE' LAPTOP WITH CLASSIFIED INFO IN APRIL 2000 - See GREG THIELMAN) Timmerman said that after several years at the U.S. Information Agency, Ann Pincus was transferred in the late 1990s to the Office of Research and Media Reaction at the State Department’s Bureau of Intelligence and Research, the same office that "lost" a laptop computer loaded with highly classified intelligence documents in April 2000.

[* My note: Greg Thielman is the guy who came out against his boss Colin Powell concerning Powell's Feb 5, 2003 speech at the UN about Iraqi violations & WMD]

The New Yorker's Seymour Hersh wrote a big fluffy butt-kissing piece on Greg Thielman, BTW. And judging by the PPIncus article on Joe Wilson's July 4th party, I don't think Pincus was the only reporter present.

Didn't Ann Pincus and Bill Clinton start their careers around the same time back in Arkansas? Seems I remember reading that she worked for the Arkansas Gazette (liberal newspaper that was eventually bought by the owner of the Arkansas Democrat - now the Arkansas Democrat Gazette). Bill Clinton was Arkansas' AG, before being elected Governor.

Thanks for digging that out, piasa. Your archival and retrieval capability is amazing. I had forgotten about the lost laptop with the classified information - as I recall, it was supposedly left in an unsecured conference room. Others have pointed this out on numerous occasions but it's interesting how the cast of characters is intertwined.

1960 : (WALTER PINCUS IS REPORTEDLY RECRUITED BY 'CIA EMPLOYEES' TO SERVE AS US REPRESENTATIVE AT TWO INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCES - ?? WHAT WOULD THESE BE? THE IPS CONFERENCES?) What his bio doesn't mention is that in 1960, he was recruited by CIA employees to serve as a U.S. representative at two international conferences-his trips paid for by CIA fronts. Pincus was unapologetic when he disclosed his CIA role in a 1967 piece he wrote soon after joining the staff of the Washington Post. - "East Coast Press' "Willful Ignorance" Protects Flawed Institutions," by Mark Lowenthal via 2,051 posted on 04/13/2004 10:49:48 PM PDT by Fedora

Fedora, the wording here seems odd- was Pincus selected by CIA employees who 'took it upon themselves' to send him on a government funded boondoggle trip like Joe Wilson was- as opposed to being employed in the usual fashion as a CIA bureaucrat?
