Well... I can't say it applies to you, but it's actually a pretty common tactic for "former" agents to be completely honest about their "former" association with their new targets. It builds trust they exploit to give disinformation, and explains away any inconsistencies in their background if by chance they are ever found out. I suppose that tactic wouldn't make sense on an anonymous message board.
As an aside, what do you think of the rumor that they moved most of their real ops to the National Endowment for Democracy? The stuff at Langley is just a cover.
Never heard of that. Literally tens of thousands of people work on Langley. Most of them are juts desk jockeys, support staff, etc. The real secret stuff is what used to be called the DO / Directorate of Operations and is now called NCS / National Clandestine Service. That's like a minority of CIA employees, but there are the real spies. The most undercover people are NOCs ... Non-official cover. CIA employees who never set foot in Langley (McLean), might spend their entire career working for Microsoft, or Bob's Widgets, or whatever, but who are secretly CIA agents working deep under cover.
