Talk:January 1964 South Vietnamese coup

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)
 * Sorry for the thirteen year delay responding to your post... the following biography of Lucien Conein in Studies in Intelligence is relatively recent and defines him multiple times as an intelligence officer:

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)
