Yet, of the Americans who died last week in the suicide bombing at the CIAs most sensitive outpost in Afghanistan, it is the seventh whose presence has raised the most urgent questions as the US scrambles to repair and avenge the damage done to the hunt for Osama bin Laden.
According to a security official in Kabul with close ties to the CIA, when Humam Khalil Abu-Mulal al-Balawi carried out his deadly mission at Forward Operating Base Chapman, he managed to kill the agencys deputy head of station for the whole of Afghanistan.
The senior agent was waiting at the base near Khost to meet al-Balawi, debrief him on the whereabouts of Ayman al-Zawahiri, bin Ladens deputy, and convey his findings directly to the White House.
They were expecting the meeting to be of such substance that following the meeting their next directive was to call President Obama, the official told The Times.
There was meant to be a direct call to Washington.

I didn’t say Obama was doing it....someone likely in the CIA thought this might be their big moment....
To: Ernest_at_the_Beach
Perhaps. We are not privy to what goes on in the Soviet WH or the Panetta CIA.
Your suggestion is reasonable.
What disturbs me the most is such a close parallel to the BJ years. Same and clone actors.

You’ve not known someone who was killed or otherwise torn to pieces by the betrayal of politicians for their own ends?
1. people going to Afg-Pak to ‘look for CIA’ practices that were ‘illegal’. Apparently, this included Carville.
2. intelligence ‘systemic failures’ caused ..... ‘xyz’
3. intelligence personnel ‘did not’ inform DHS, FBI, nameyourhigherup, of potential bombing, hostile action, danger of whateveritis
4. intelligence operatives ‘killed innocent wedding goers, tourists, etc., etc.’
How better to silence your adversary that has power over you (US intelligence) than to take out enough of their people to hurt them badly enough....so they’ll leave you alone. Especially if you get a twofer in sending someone like a Bin Laden a ‘friendly thinking of you card’. A bit of a chit in the game.
There’s no difference in doing something like this than in sending Mikey to do something you don’t want to get caught doing. Do we really think 0bama or someone in the now infested Dept of State/Congressional Muslim Staffers Assn wouldn’t do this just to let others know who’s boss?

I can report to you what the terrorist forums are saying about this terrorist attack on the CIA. They are extremely jubilant about it because the terrorist who carried it was a prominent member of the now closed "Al Hesbah" terrorist forum. His nickname on "Al Hesbah" terrorist forum was "Abou Dajana Al Kharasani" and he even made his forum nickname to be his terrorist nickname.
I am very afraid that this terrorist attack on the CIA by a terrorist who was ex-member of the terrorist forums is going to help in encouraging more members of the terrorist forums to follow his footsteps and become battlefield terrorists instead of only being cyberspace terrorists.
This terrorist attack on the CIA is now a big recruiting tool for Al Qaeda on the terrorist forums.

To that terrorist, wherever he is, I would only have this to say:
خليل أبو همام ملال الشيطان يجب شرب البول وأكل الخراء من الخنازير إلى الأبد.
