I happen to believe that if Bill Clinton had been a CIA operative in Europe, his boys in the agency would have aired it during his Presidency on order, and Bill would have countered the image of his Magical Mystical Tour. Sorry, I believe the premise that he was CIA is nothing more than a disinformation campaign that gives cover to those who wish to dismiss what was likely criminal behavior.

OK, I'd say instead of operative, which implies more an active role, i'd say asset, funneling information on the state of the Oxford English Antiwar movement back to the CIA.

In terms of releasing this info while he was President, it would have burnt his bridges within the party. Something that while being effective for the country as a whole, possibly, would have rendered him an outcast within his party.

Sort of makes sense of how he got a free ride in his first campaign. And Bush's the elder lackluster campaign. He knew that Clinton had been one of the boys. Makes using the Mena airport viewpoint understandable, too.

One thing, whatever Clinton says, no one will believe it. I believe Hitchens may have poisoned the well for both him and Hillary now.
