Afghan CIA Bomber Was Courted as Possible Informant
Posted by Jim Hoft on Friday, January 1, 2010, 9:54 AM
The Taliban bomber was not searched when he entered the camp.
The suicide bomber who killed seven CIA agents in Afghanistan this week was courted by the US as a possible informant.
The BBC reported:
The suicide bomber who killed seven CIA agents in Afghanistan had been courted by the US as a possible informant, US intelligence sources have said.
They said he had not undergone the usual full body search before entering the base in Khost province, and so was able to smuggle in an explosive belt.
The attack was the worst against US intelligence officials since the US embassy in Beirut was bombed in 1983.
US President Barack Obama has praised the work of those killed in a letter.
Paying tribute to the fallen, Mr Obama said those killed were “part of a long line of patriots who have made great sacrifices for their fellow citizens, and for our way of life”.
He told CIA employees in a letter that the victims had “taken great risks to protect our country” and that their sacrifices had “sometimes been unknown to your fellow citizens, your friends, and even your families”.
Jules Crittenden has more on the attack.

Paying tribute to the fallen…………
The US Dictator In Training Pants blamed Bush and said that Interpol would soon be knocking on Teh Eeeeevil One’s door at 3am and dragging the former President and Darth Cheney in front of The ICC for ‘completely objective and fair’ war crimes trials.
Wait for it….. It’s coming.

“US President Barack Obama has praised the work of those killed in a letter.” And then vowed to prosecute the CIA agents that have kept us safe for 7 years under the Bush administration. Way to be consistent Barry.

Lord have mercy.
How could this happen?
Everything (jobs, er lack thereof; swine flu vaccine; health care; foreclosures; etc) this regime touches turns into a terd.
They got a real pro running the CIA now. What’s his name? He needs to be fired.
Obama and Holder threaten to prosecute CIA pros for being mean to terrorists.
Does that cause them to worry about being prosecuted if they make a terrorist feel bad because he was frisked?
Not only are the liberals screwing us they’re doing the CIA. They are paying with their lives.

The Invisible Legacy of President George W. Bush
Cheney: Obama’s Changes to Anti-Terrorism
Policy Will Raise the Risk of Attack
[And he warned that the administration was transitioning to a pre-9/11 mindset that views terrorism as a "law enforcement problem" and not a military threat.
"When you go back to the law enforcement mode, which I sense is what they're doing ... they are very much giving up that center of attention and focus that's required, and that concept of military threat that is essential if you're going to successfully defend the nation against further attacks," Cheney said on CNN's "State of the Union."
He said the Bush administration's tough anti-terrorism policies were "absolutely essential" to the military's ability to gather the intelligence that helped foil "all further attempts to launch attacks against the United States since 9/11."
Cheney added: "President Obama campaigned against it all across the country. And now he is making some choices that, in my mind, will, in fact, raise the risk to the American people of another attack."
Obama has suspended military trials for suspected terrorists and announced he will close the U.S. detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, as well as overseas sites where the CIA has held some detainees. The president also ordered CIA interrogators to abide by the U.S. Army Field Manual's regulations for treatment of detainees and denounced waterboarding, part of the Bush program of enhanced interrogation, as torture.
Asked if he thought Obama has made Americans less safe with those actions, Cheney replied, "I do."]
