Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't a CIA "agent" someone who is recruited by a CIA "officer?" There is a HUGE difference... Surely, Mr. Spann was a CIA officer, not an agent.
You are correct. Mike Spann was an Officer rather than an agent.
I had the honor to serve peripherally with some of those PM guys during my time in the middle east. They are the best of the best.
Hand Salute to Mike Spann. He was an inspiration.
