[edit] Minor Changes

I just did a batch of changes; here's some details:

  • Changed "US Army clandestine special forces unit" to "clandestine US Army special operations unit;" in the context of the US Army, Special Forces refers to the "Green Berets" and special operations forces should be used for other special units.
  • Department of Defense, we spell it with that funny s.
  • Close links have not "always bound" the USA to the CIA, since the Army is much older than CIA.
  • Several wiki links, some language polishing

Some things that still require work:

  • The Executive Order cited refers to "special activities." These could be covert and/or clandestine activities. See http://www.dtic.mil/doctrine/jel/doddict/index.html for the difference between the two. These distinctions may be important within this article.
  • Needs more references; Richelson's "Intelligence Community" might have something.

I don't really know much about SEASPRAY, please consider this edit primarily stylistic and not substantive. --VAcharon 14:53, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

I think it's a good work, VAcharon. I have just one remark, it is : Seaspray operated under the cover of a private airline company associated with the CIA, Aviation Tech Services. I think that the "Aviation Tech Services" cover was not a cover used in operations but used inside the U.S. to cover the existence of such an unit during its training and all other stuff while out of operations. This is not very clear in the text. Rob1bureau 13:57, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
