CIA base attacked in Afghanistan supported airstrikes against al-Qaeda, Taliban

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/12/31/AR2009123100541.html

todays news of how our cia agents died is further proof of the pc incompetence and can’t we all just get along of this government. the cia INVITED this jihadist onto the base, didn’t frisk him, because instead of wanting to kill the (_*_) they wanted to “turn him” to work for us. so 1 jihadist kills 8 cia agents and wounds another 6. what, was this a cia convention? does it really take 15 americans to pitch a proposal to 1 muslim?

It’s a risk of the job. One of the primary needs in a war like this is to identify not only the enemy but more importantly the enemy leadership. Even better is to know what the enemy and its leadership are doing in advance in order to thwart them and render ineffective key members of the enemy organization. In all likelihood, the guy was not a ‘foot soldier’ in the Taliban or Al Qaeda organization (not sure which at present) so the precautions were not the same as those undertaken when dealing with an ‘expendable’ asset. It probably didn’t take 14 agents to try to ‘turn’ this enemy operator. More likely the others were nearby working on other things. But, while you may not believe it, I’m certain that the potential risk had been evaluated and deemed acceptable. It’s the risk associated with the job.

I’ll wait for several days, perhaps weeks before finding out whether any of the casualties were people I know. The costs of that job even if you aren’t killed by a jihadi are high.

Anyway, Happy New Year.

This is their ‘take’ on the story.

The policies, Feinstein said, should be changed so the U.S. government can watchlist and deny visas to anyone who is “reasonably believed to be affiliated with, part of, or acting on behalf of a terrorist organization.”

Republican Representative Michael Castle singled out the National Counterterrorism Center, or NCTC, the agency that was “designed to connect the dots on terrorism.”

“Red flags” were missed across the board, he said. Abdulmutallab had no checked luggage; he paid for his ticket with cash; and British officials had rejected his visa renewal application and had his name on their own watch list.”

what does this all mean? Was some foreign official in on this thing?
