Hezbollah leader Nasrallah said on TV in June at least 2 CIA spies identified in Hezbollah ranks; current and former U.S. officials concede this happened, says damage has spread.
The CIAs operations in Lebanon have been badly damaged after Hezbollah identified and captured a number of U.S. spies recently, current and former U.S. officials told The Associated Press on Monday. The intelligence debacle is particularly troubling because the CIA saw it coming.

Since the M-Bhood is all over and inside our intelligence ommunities and the WH I blame Obama for all bloodshed. How many CIA spies caught or BLOWN up now? How many SEAL’s umm just blown out of the sky after killing Osama? Twice might be a coincidence(???) more than three times is a pattern and smells of moles.
I don’t understand how this could have happened. Like during the Vietnam war, we give our top secret classified military information only to the UN Security Council where it will go no further.
“...Doesnt appear they got any of our agents, just some of our recruited foreign national assests. ...”
They’re still OUR people, and some traitorous POS gave them up or compromised them, one way or another.
The Koran commands to torture prisoners. Barry may be the Government Messiah, but he is not theirs. You can be assured, they are being tortured as we surf.
They are not OUR people... They are sources of temporarily useful information, each associated with a risk and cost of maintainence. They are likely not loyal to us or our interests, and would just as easily compromise our actual agents for a buck... Criminals, terrorist associates, insurgents, greedy traitors... just like the spies in our own ranks. They could additionally easily be double agents, foreign CI plants, providing false information, too risky to keep, outlived their usefulness, etc. ... there are many legitimate reasons to give up sources, what is unusual is that we publically admit it, but I bet there is a good reason.
Great map. I am soooo Corzining that.
Way I see it...”the enemy of my enemy is my friend”. If they are indeed helping us, then we owe them some help.
But - Your point about double agents and counterintel plants, however, is well taken.
Double-agent residing in the WH.

Reminds me of a certain failed rescue attempt, coincidentally in the same country, Iran.
Why? Diplomats have no buisness commenting on intelligence matters. One never lets diplomats in on intelligence ops.
They have to know nothing so all can be plausibly denied.
Lebanon is a major recipient of foreign military aid.[80] With $400 million since 2005, it is the second largest per capita recipient of American military aid behind Israel.[81]

To be sure, some deaths are to be expected in shadowy spy wars. Its an extremely risky business and people get killed.
Some of them may be executed immediately by low level thugs, but much worse fates await those who are not so lucky. I think I would rather be captured by Nazis. I pity those who think that Obama stopping waterboarding is going to buy them any mercy.
Unfortunately, they’re toast.
If ANYONE in this admin gave them up or otherwise outed them, they need to be jailed for life.
Good luck with that, though.
These are Lebanese and Iranians who are paid by the CIA to spy for us.
Heck, a lot of MOSSAD agents are Muslims.
Obama probably ratted them out, like the Team Six people.
Bump to the map.
If youd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

You’re spot on, but I still suspect a mole. We’ve allowed a lot of Muslims into sensitive positions. I’d rather we used Christian Arabs or Assyrians.
