[edit] Nitpick on Lucien Conein that I'm not sure about...

The article refers to Conein as a CIA agent, but I'm wondering if he was a CIA field officer. His biography muddles the distinction further, and I can't tell in what capacity he worked for the CIA (field officer vs. agent being run by a CIA officer). TJSwoboda 18:07, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sudanese?

The article says, "He never rose to become the deputy chief of staff in the Vietnamese or Sudanese army..."

I'm no expert, but the Sudanese reference seems odd. --Quadrastreet 21:32, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

I agree. The edit that added this strikes me as very subtle vandalism, even if its statement is technically true. I think it should be reverted. TJSwoboda 22:56, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
