If he was undercover, it wasn't on our side. IMO. If he was, the CIA is pretty dumb. A jewish boy w an Israeli passport stamp being undercover CIA in the most dangerous terrorist den in the world.....BWAHAHAHA! Maybe if Charleton Heston were running it, we could get away w this, but not in real life/
I still say things generally are less complex than what they seem one layer or two under the surface. The fact his dad was a leftist, and Nick had no visible means of support, allowed a 9-11 terrorist to use his email, and was killed by the same organization he allowed to use that email...that is enough complexity right there.
The only reason I would think he was CIA...the only one...is the curious position they take on the email thing: It was purely coincidental. YEAH RIGHT! Why are they trying to protect him now?
Well maybe as complex as it gets is that they were trying to protect their rears!! [keeping with the "keep it simple" theory]
Why? Because if he had known terror connections [email etc] then why did CIA let him run loose? Why not in jail? It COULD be as simple as this. They knew he was on terror side and couldn't or wouldn't do anything about it and now that it's all out, they would have egg on their faces if they didn't try to blow off the email thing as coincidental.
Dear CIA: You can obtain my resume at the following address: p.s. I work cheap...BWAHAHA!!
And if he really were doing undercover stuff then the stamp from Israel says something is off and there are definite pieces missing (at least to me). Anywho who has/wants to/is contemplating/etc. travel to anywhere with ANY ties to someplace that has Arab connections (which could include all of the Middle East, northern/eastern Africa, and SE Asia) knows you NEVER get a stamp from Israel in your passport. It's asking for trouble, and in MANY countries can even keep you from entering (or at least getting a visa for more than transit through the country).
For someone who has traveled as he supposedly had to so many places, how on earth would he never have known that? Besides they are very good about putting the stamps on another piece of paper if you do go through Israel. It just seems very odd...that's (the stamp from Israel and the mentioning Israel and his times there openly to many people like new articles are beginning to mention) almost like asking for trouble in that part of the world...at least from my experiences there.
