I can’t give specifics but the CIA did a great job giving us valuable intelligence.

That was not the CIAs fault. The problem was with a cease fire agreement that made US Marines follow a ridiculous protocol leaving the barrack vulnerable to attack.

The 307 dead were from TWO bombings. The second was a French building kilometers from our barracks.
