Claims to be a diplomat... edit

She's just on HuffPost live, being presented as "Former CIA officer fights to clear her name" and pretty much admits she worked for them - can we consider the case settled?

CIA claim edit

The article currently states "Sousa claims to be a former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) field officer who used diplomatic cover."

This is how Wikipedia phrases it when those claims are unsubstantiated. Its how we tell the reader between the lines "this is probably not true".

But if you search good news sources they ALL refer to her as ex-CIA. Furthermore, I can find no basis for the way we have hedged our bets here, and the article doesn't present any sources suggesting she's lying, so I am rephrasing it using more assertive language.
