Anderson Cooper Interned At CIA

AC was on his way to CIA?

Via Radar:

Following his sophomore and junior years at Yale — a well-known recruiting ground for the CIA — Cooper spent his summers interning at the agency’s monolithic headquarters in Langley, Virginia, in a program for students interested in intelligence work. His involvement with the agency ended there, and he chose not to pursue a job with the agency after graduation, according to a CNN spokeswoman, who confirms details of Cooper’s CIA involvement to Radar.

According to Radar, Cooper has kept his CIA involvement private because it might otherwise compromise his ability to travel in foreign countries and make him a greater target for terrorists.
