Nasrallah announced this capture back in June, but US officials denied it at the time. For whatever reason, today US officials admitted to the AP that a couple of our agents got nabbed. Ouch . . .

It might help if Obama quit sending the Pali terrorists hundreds of millions of dollars per year?

[jafojeffsurf]

The real question is who in the administration is give the info up on them?

[Jane Long]

It's on Bam's and Panetta's watches.

Another thing to try and sweep under the thug rug.

Couple different sources now reporting at least a “dozen” US spies were apprehended by Hezbollah. This is starting to sound like a HUGE Clusterf#&$

Remember how the “media” ballyhooed the “outing” of the so-called CIA agent Valerie Plame.

Waiting for proportionate treatment on this one. As if...

Hussein himself probably gave Hez their names. What a freaking traitor.

Result of premature announcement of Bin Laden assination?

[Jeff Head]

AP is reporting that:

“The CIA was well aware the spies were vulnerable in Lebanon. CIA officials were warned, including the chief of the unit that supervises Hezbollah operations from CIA headquarters in Langley, Va., and the head of counterintelligence. It remains unclear whether anyone has been or will be held accountable...”

Maybe they could start here:

OBAMA'S ARAB SPRING IS LOOKING MORE AND MORE LIKE THE BEGINNINGS OF AN ISLAMIC CALLIPHATE

Remember Senator Church and his Senate committee effectively dismantling CIA operations back when. They caused the deaths of our operatives and contract agents in the USSR and other countries behind the Iron Curtain and effectively caused the CIA to become a second rate operation. It so affected our ally counterparts that they were afraid to share information with us for fear of Congressional exposure and we were blind for many years - maybe even onto today.

Doesn’t appear they got any of our agents, just some of our recruited foreign national assests. Our agents don’t typically spy directly, they recruit (via coercion, extortion, ideology, bribery, blackmail...) foreign nationals with access to targeted groups/commercial/technical/governmental areas who do the spying. I’m sure we lose these sources all the time (they are mostly criminals, losers, traitors so what do you expect), what is unusual is that we are admitting that they were playing for our team. Of course, if we were sloppy and they got caught with evidence of US involvement, it makes perfect sense.

Leon Panetta was director of the CIA then, he is now Secy of Defense...does that give you all a warm, fuzzy, safe feeling?

In this world things are rarely as they are reported to the press.

Not saying it’s the case here, but imagine an op that gets the bad guys to eat their own. All you have to do is call them a few times, and go to pizza hut when they do.

I bet THEY have no aversion to waterboarding.

I hope & pray Iran will follow Bari's lead and not torture our soldiers.

It's one issue he has actually lead on.

So, I'm sure there will no longer be any harsh interrogation methods used every again anywhere on the earth.

I hate to believe this, but if a history of the CIA is a guide, it is most likely true.

The particulars surrounding the most recent CIA “success story” — the tracking and killing of Osama Bin Laden — is likely based on a fairy tale. The truth is probably much different; viz., someone walked into the embassy in Islamabad and reported his whereabouts in order to obtain the reward on his head.

Here we go again as history repeats itself.

Those of us, who were around during the Carter days saw this bs done on a larger scale.
