from what I heard the special ops guy at Tora Bora worked very hard and risked his life to find bin Ladin. From what I heard he was very po'd about the whole thing.

In regards to the suicides here's a link for a recent one from this base that has a summary of the events back in 2002. From what I've read about these 'suicides', they were all from the same Special Forces unit stationed at Fort Bragg. All of them were in Afghanistan and some of them may have been involved in the aborted operation to capture bin Laden. Funny, if the Tora Bora story is true then this would be a group that Rummie & Co would be very interested in silencing but that must just be a coincidence.



At Fort Bragg, another violent suicide

Washington, DC, Feb. 11 (UPI) -- Another Special Forces soldier who served in Afghanistan shot himself to death at Fort Bragg last week after wounding his ex-wife and her boyfriend, according to police and military officials. The soldier was in a unit prescribed a controversial malaria drug that has been linked to several other violent incidents ending in soldier suicides.

In the summer of 2002 three Special Forces soldiers who had served in Afghanistan and took Lariam killed their wives, and subsequently themselves, after returning to Fort Bragg. The Army investigated, ruling out the drug as a common factor in those deaths and instead blaming marital problems. An investigation by United Press International found that all three had exhibited behavior consistent with acknowledged side effects of the drug and that there was no apparent history of violence in the marriages.

UPI uncovered three more suicides by Special Forces soldiers who took the drug.
