Two ex-spies, stranded in the United States and unemployed, have sued the Central Intelligence Agency, which they say should provide for them for life. Cloaked in secrecy, their lawsuit alleges that the CIA promised complete financial assistance after they spied for the agency during the 1980s. A promise is a promise, said the couple's lawyers. But because it's the CIA they're challenging, the plaintiffs are discovering contract law does not necessarily apply.
