*IF* the report below is correct, the part about passing as a local and blending in certainly suggests the possibility of non-official cover. (I suspect she found it easy “to pose as a native Arab” because that’s what she is.)

“‘She also demonstrated a talent for breaking captured Al Qaeda “high-value targets,’ an intelligence source told the Daily News.

“‘She was not only good at debriefing HVTs [high-value targets], she was able to pose as a native Arab and easily blend in,” said the source.’

“Prouty was a covert CIA operations officer ‘just like Valerie Plame,’ the source added, referring to the spy infamously outed in a 2003 newspaper column.”
