Seven CIA agents were among the Americans killed in a suicide bombing by an Afghan Army soldier invited onto a U.S. base – but not searched – because he was being courted as an informant ...

How do "former" US officials know this? If they're former it's not like they were there or had any insight as to what was going on. I'm not doubting whether this is true or not but I question the legitimacy of their claim.

we need to get out of the afhan courtship biz. it did not go well for the russian suitors either.

We need to train the Afghans to be able to run their own country and then get out. We should treat everyone as a possible target and then we would not leave ourselves open for attacks from our six (back). We are there now and can not change the past but we damn sure better get a handle on the present and hopefully in the near future leave them be.

There was no intelligence in the White House for 8 years.

Well we could have it like the Bush/Cheney crime family who went around outing CIA agents.

The level of corruption, in governments, all around the world, are the same.
