CIA renegade behind suicide attack: Taliban

The Pakistani Taliban is claiming it used a turncoat CIA agent to carry out a suicide bombing at a CIA camp in Afghanistan.

Seven agents were killed and six injured in Thursday's suicide bombing in eastern Afghanistan.

A Pakistani Taliban member says a CIA agent had contacted the Taliban and offered to attack the US intelligence operation in Afghanistan.

He says the Taliban trained the CIA agent and sent the suicide bomber to the camp as revenge for a top militant leader's death in a US missile strike.

A CIA spokesman says he cannot confirm the claim and that there is a lot about the attack that is not known.

1. i doubt he was an agent, mayby an assett, there is a big difference..

[thunder rising]

9. Good enough to get in the gate. Your point is moot.

[vadawg]

12. not at all, just pointing out that an agent is totally different than someone who is being paid by

the agency, or is spying for the agency etc etc, they are an assett not an agent...

2. Time to cut the SF loose on Pakistan

The border should now be meaningless when the Taliban enters the equation.

3. Afghanistan is the graveyard of empires, and if this means the death of imperialism

so be it!

[vadawg]

4. it might also mean your death, are you willing to pay that price...

seems people are always willing to sacrifice others for their beliefs rather than making that sacrifice themselves..

[IndianaGreen]

5. The prowar faction is the one sending others to die in this foolish war

America will be better off once we drive a wooden stake through imperialism and capitalism's hearts.

[vadawg]

6. and pray tell what will replace what you want destroyed

and why are you so sure it will not be a hundred times worse... seems that your solution is that if the US leaves then all will be peace and harmony, you do realise that the violence will probuably escalate and spread...

[thunder rising]

10. Well, we've tried it the "kill and bomb" way for so long ... we could try something else?

:shrug:

14. Please elaborate

i d ont think the US doing the circus seal will do much to appease the radical islamic crowd.

[proteus_lives]

dupe.

[proteus_lives]

21. Yeah, because communism is peaceful and loving.

Oh, wait.....that's not right.

7. Go away! Leave! Go back to the 2000's!! There is no place for you here in the 2010's!

There is no place for you here in the future! That argument is so 2001. Go away!

[vadawg]

8. no my friend the argument is timeless, since mankind first came forth from the ooze

the question has been with us... and will continue to be so...

[thunder rising]

11. OK, good enough. And so we shall live with it, without imperialism

[vadawg]

13. lol you really think that someone else wont just step into the shoes and start the new empire

you need to look at history to see what happens when one empire falls..

[Pavulon]

15. I for one will be the first to submit to the new chinese overlord

the system they put in place will be far superior to the evil us empire. They are doing so much to protect life where they do business, see the sudan and DPRC.

I am sure if we just give up all our defensive capability and go back in the clamshell we will be fine. Just like a smoking hot passed out chick at a frat party. No one would dare take advantage..

edit:shitty grammar.

[vadawg]

16. yup some people just do not read their history or understand reality

nature hates a vaccumn.

[Gman]

18. The only thing timeless is

the demagoguery of false choices based on erroneous assumptions.

"Vote for Republicans or you will die," is the apparent new and old campaign slogan for the Republicans despite 9/11, Katrina, the Iraq War, the Shoe Bomber, and the Antrax attacks all happening under Republican rule.
