CIA should pledge to a ban on recruiting journalists [LOL! What would CNN, The Washington Post, and The Huffington Post do, without a staff?!] 4 Jan 2015 Does the CIA recruit journalists? ...The practice of recruiting journalists, and of placing intelligence agents under cover as reporters, was apparently banned in 1977. But appearances can be deceptive. Two decades later, in 1996, President Clinton’s CIA director, John Deutch, revealed that the CIA had retained the right to use journalists as spies and to have spies pose as journalists. Since then, the issue has not gone away, in part because the CIA refuses to fully swear off these practices.
