Getting back on topic, I'm really amused by all those "Julia The Spy" stories.

First off, it was never a secret that she was in the OSS. All the newly declassified material does is give us some specifics of what she did.

But the media is in love with the word spy. The fact that they use it incorrectly doesn't matter to them a wit. There is always something dramatic about blasting the word in giant letters.

There is, in what is laughingly referred to as the intelligence community, a standard argot. All agencies use it. Whether the KGB, the Shin Bet, the Deuxemme Burea, MI6 or the CIA. Or any other intelligence agency. When describing covert operators:

Our people (whoever our is) are, depending on job, officers or operatives. People who work for our people are agents. The other guys are spies.

So, the only people to whom Julia The Spy applies are the other side; the bad guys. They would think of her as a spy. They and the NY Times, that is.

Brook-

Also this week in the news was the discovery of the "corpse of a Bigfoot". (!!!) My guess is, the same folks who take the Julia-the-spy story seriously also are closely watching these Sasquatch developments, too! Hee-Hee!

And here's the really fun part we are going camping in that area of GA on Labor Day weekend, I told Eddie we may have to lay low as there may be maniacs out there wating to bag another Bigfoot and they might mistake Eddie for him:D Eddie got a kick out of that when I told it to him, he is so funny!
