I really don’t think it’s wise to trust any muslim. It’s a shame but they’re bringing it on themselves. No doubt there are a few cottonmouth mocassins that won’t bite too, but you could get in big trouble sorting them out!

Thanks for the ping. Can you repost here Scheuer’s comments made on CNN regarding Brennan?

TIA!

They should check each and every Moslem that comes to the base, every moment they come into the base, before they come into the base ...and thoroughly.

But unbeknownst to the Americans, the Waziri tribesman had become a turncoat – either out of personal choice or after he was caught by the Taliban and turned. He was strapped with a suicide vest and sent in to deliver some new “information” which was believed to be ‘valuable’ judging by the fact that the CIA flew in a special debriefer from Kabul and more than a dozen operatives had gathered in the basement gym of FOB Chapman to hear him.

Instead, there was a suicide blast that killed eight people, including Arghawan, the female base chief and another woman operative, and five other men. At least half dozen other operatives were injured in an incident that has shaken the US intelligence community to its boots. If the attribution of the attack is correct, then it is the second time that a Pakistani tribesman would have directly attacked CIA personnel: In 1993, Mir Aimal Kansi tshot dead two CIA workers near its Langley headquarters to avenge the death of his father who was a CIA asset subsequently abandoned. He fled to Pakistan, was later captured and brought back to be executed in the US in 2002.

There has some talk of revenge and retribution but the collateral casualty in the attack is trust – and experience. The nearly dozen CIA operatives who have been put out of commission by the attack constitute the best of CIA expertise on the region, its players and dynamics and they cannot be easily or quickly replaced. Some of them, including the female base chief, had worked on the subject for nearly a decade, including the hunt for bin Laden in the days before and after 9/11.

When the CIA gets a clue that none of the Islamist can be trusted OR believed, then they will reach a level of competency that will be useful.

They need to get out of the Cold War mentality.
You can not “develop” informants from a Religion and mindset that has as it’s main goal the Murder of ALL unbelievers.

The CIA is now obligated to viciously repay whoever was responsible, or else CIA field agents will have big targets painted on them in the future.

Importantly, this is *not* a political decision, and the upper tier of CIA management will likely not be informed, either. Execution will be much it was done during the Phoenix Program in Vietnam:

A known member of the organization responsible will be captured. He will be compelled to give information about his comrades, which in this case will likely be his family and tribe. He will then be executed.

Back when the British administered Afghanistan, if there was a similar violation, then the British army would wipe out the entire village responsible. The CIA response will be about as violent, but will likely include even those peripherally associated with that event.

This means whoever provided the explosives, whatever Imam or drug lord was ambitious enough to take on the CIA. If it was a madrassa, then the entire madrassa goes, “faculty” and students.

All told, it will be a CIA bloodbath. And the survivors and witnesses will learn the golden rule: do not mess with the CIA.

A Jordanian doctor who was an al-Qaida double-agent, was the suicide bomber. "His specific mission, according to officials, was to find and meet Ayman al Zawahiri, al-Qaida's No. 2, also a physician."
