People in GSF knew him much more than "I work in IT". He was personal friends with some of them.

It's like this… we're all gonna die.

Knowing this, would VR have chosen to die as young as he did and not get to be a father to his kids for very long? No… but…

If you're going to die and have no say in the matter, would you be satisfied knowing that your death causes a shitstorm of drama that upsets the presidential election and gets Glen Beck to start weaving you into his (sadly not) drug-addled theory of the universe in the role of a surreptitious CIA agent?

Sean would have found humor in that.

To be entirely fair, having some limited knowledge of this subject, CIA/DIA/NSA personel, even those who aren't operators/operatives working under aliases, but work with those that do, are generally instructed to give a generic unexciting job description to those who might ask, generally this job description is spelled out in writing for them

It would not be odd at all for the aforementioned personnel to say, "I work in IT". It would be even more common for them not to tell their Eve Online friends anything other than "I work in IT".

Additionally, the CIA/DIA (who's names are often interchangeable by the media, and in state/defense department press releases), especially DIA, hires from or borrows from many different branches and agencies in the US govt. It is quite common for OSI personel from the Airforce, or formerly with the Airforce, to work for DIA, or to later get a job with the CIA. Also with the higher turnover rates throughout the last decade, you can't really throw a stone in Virginia without hitting an ex-navy seal or ex-SF working for an intelligence agency.

That being said…. ::Takes a Breath:: It's entirely plausible that Vile Rat was an IT guy working for the CIA making about 200-grand a year plugging cables into satellite dishes.

^.^ See how fun this gets. You can't really get at an answer because your not suppose.

Deadly Attack in Libya Was Major Blow to C.I.A. Effort

WASHINGTON — The attack in Benghazi, Libya, that killed Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three other Americans has dealt the Central Intelligence Agency a major setback in its intelligence-gathering efforts at a time of increasing instability in the North African nation. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/24/world/africa/at…

I have known a few people who had family members in the CIA. One thing they held in common was their family members said absolutely nothing about what they did. Ever. If he was a CIA contact, we would only find out if the CIA decided to let us know.

Well said. Angry mob sodomy before suffocation is not a threat. The microwave popcorn button is.

How is believing that he was a CIA contact a conspiracy theory? The state department is filled with them for obvious reasons.

Look, as someone who worked directly with VR in Corps Diplomatique, I can say with definite certainty that VR would be loving the controvercy.
