Wow....

Somehow I already knew that. I can't remember how, though... Maybe from a Chefography on the Food Network? She was a seriously awesomely amazing woman though, and now I want to read more about her!

That's what I've been hearing. Something about she did an interview in the late 70's, early 80's and said the same thing. I find it strange since other in the article above said they were sworn to secrecy even after they left the service.

They may just be li'l' ol' ladies now, but once upon a time . . .

BTW - just added fuel to the story that all Americans are spying for their government, specially those outside the States. ;)
