We didn't pay too much attention to Radar's Anderson Cooper coverage this morning, mostly because we had always figured Coopster for a stealthy bad ass, and the news that he once worked for the CIA? Not that surprising. But what we didn't realize is that Radar may be putting Anderson's life in danger.
The Coops responds on his own 360 Blog, explaining his short-lived summer jobs working at the CIA headquarters in Langley, VA.
I know the CIA may sound more exotic and mysterious, but it was actually pretty bureaucratic and mundane, at least the little bit that I saw of it. By the end of the second summer, I realized it was not a place I wanted to work after college.
I've told all my employers about it over the years, but have chosen not to talk about it publicly. When I began to travel overseas to war zones as a reporter, I realized that some Jihadist might not understand that what people do for summer jobs in college doesn't mean they make a career out of it.
Did you hear that Jeff Bercovici? If Anderson Cooper gets captured by a Jihadist Jill Carroll style, everyone will be lookin' at you.

What a bunch of crap. It seems people will write and stir the pot about everything and nothing. I heard he jumps into his pants instead of one leg at a time. Oh, I'll bet you already knew he was only half human.
