Right, Ed:
The problem seems that just about everybody in
South Korea claims that he had worked for the US "intelligence" orgs.
In fact Ahn Doo Whi claimed he was an OSS
major!
The question is how much Nichols and his Korean
pals were involved in the assassination business. As you know Nichols writes in
his memoirs that he had quite few folks snubbed out and that he was having
nightmares about his victims.
Also, Kim In Ho writes in his memoirs that he
worked for a Korean "agent" of the US CIC in 1948-1950.

Nothing in here but innuendo. The CIC had
hundreds, if not thousands of
informants from all walks of South Korean
life. Most of these informants
had a personal agenda to advance so
what they told the CIC was what they
(the informant) wanted the CIC to
believe (which they rarely did.) The
reason the CIC listened to this
reports was often there were snippets of
useful information and they gave
insight into whatever group the informant
belonged.
Bottom
line: It is a vast difference between an informant and an
"agent."
As an add: The American CIC DID NOT have Korean CIC
agents. They did have
interpreters/translators and often the Korean
Army CIC would have a Korean
CIC agent working with the American CIC
agent. However, these Korean CIC
agents worked for
ROKA.
