Idea that American held by Venezuela is a spy 'ridiculous': Obama

24. That's sort of the definition of a yuppie.

Someone who has a rich background, but "goes against the mainstream" and tries to "set out on their own." There are so many examples of this it's kind of a joke. You take daddies credit card and set out on some absurd adventure that gets you killed or jailed (I can think of two instances of at least one person I knew indirectly, where this has happened). Some of them disavow money completely and go on to be essentially hobos, traveling the world, getting by with what they can. I don't know why but that's something you can see with people with affluent backgrounds. It's a sort of rebellion that they undertake.

I do not see Tim as someone who is working for an intelligence agency. I don't doubt the CIA knew he was there and was even monitoring him themselves, but I highly doubt they would use that kind of cover to get someone in the country. Usually they turn someone who already lives in a country, they don't send in outsiders, that's the worst way to go about it. You can see in Libya and in Pakistan where CIA workers were murdered or arrested for working in said countries (in Pakistan the CIA got away with cold blooded murder because he had diplomatic immunity, why didn't this guy have diplomatic immunity?).
