Non-official cover
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Nonofficial cover)

Non-official cover (NOC) is a term used in espionage (particularly by the CIA) for agents or operatives who assume covert roles in organizations without ties to the government for which they work. Such agents or operatives are typically abbreviated in espionage lingo as a NOC (pronounced "knock").

An agent sent to spy on a foreign country might for instance pose as a journalist, a businessperson, a worker for a non-profit organization (such as a humanitarian group), or an academic. Non-official cover is contrasted with official cover, where an agent assumes a position at a seemingly benign department of their government, such as the diplomatic service. If caught, agents under non-official cover are usually trained to deny any connection with their government, and do not have many of the protections offered to (for example) accredited diplomats who are caught spying. Some countries have regulations regarding the use of non-official cover: the CIA, for example, has at times been prohibited from disguising agents as members of certain aid organizations, or as members of the clergy.

The degree of sophistication put into non-official cover stories can vary considerably. Sometimes, an agent will simply be appointed to a position in a well-established company which can provide the appropriate opportunities. Other times, entire front companies can be established in order to provide false identities for agents. Examples include Air America, used by the CIA during the Vietnam War, by the eponymous film. Another is Brewster Jennings & Associates, used by the CIA in WMD investigations and made public as a result of the Plame Affair.

4. There are prominent people in the right wing who perpetuate the

the lie that she wasn't and it's not because of their intelligence, it's because of their loyalty. They need to be knocked off their lying perch on right wing corporate entertaining and political news programs because they only speak for a small number of their friends.

Are you still teaching your children not to lie? Do you still send them to teachers in Friday, Saturday, and Sunday schools where they teach them that it is wrong to lie? Some in this country are laughing at you.

5. Even if she wasn't a NOC at the time

She USED to be one. Anyone in a foreign country who had done business with her, or talked to her about various issues, or did business with the CIA front company, would have been suspected of talking to the CIA. Given that she was working Iranian and Iraqi nuclear issues, this could have grave consequences for a lot of potential agents.
