End of article.
Well, well, well!
wonder how whomever knew it was CIA.. prob by his uniform? :p
What for? To take him flowers??
This story is kooky.
2) This is a Babblefish translation, that means it's not reliable
battery powered for cave dwellers maybe
Le Figaro is considered a conservative newspaper, but I suspect Radio France Internationale has socialist tendencies.
The story has not been posted on the Le Figaro or RFI web sites yet.
Are we to believe that this fellow has "Secret CIA Operative" printed on his business card?
