Does WP reporter Pincus work for the CIA?
Or, is that just my tinfoil hat? His story today on the new DSM leaks seems like a right turn from the Times story. Nothing like taking the steam out of a story with some limited/controlled acknowledgement.
I can't find much about Pincus/CIA theories... but here's something:
------

"According to John Kelly of CounterSpy magazine, Post reporter Walter Pincus (CFR) worked for the CIA in 1959 as an Agency trained and funded delegate sent to the International Youth Festival in Vienna to disrupt the festival and spy on fellow Americans. After briefing agents on his activities and taking a pledge of secrecy, he went on attend youth conferences in Ghana and Guinea. Pincus claims that he was offered, but turned down, a permanent CIA position, although he did attend a political meeting in New Delhi at the Agency's request before going on to bigger and better things at the Post. Pincus has written several pieces sympathetic to CIA operations."
