Exclusive interview with the bomber's wife



December 30, 2009 was the date that marked the deadliest attack on U.S intelligence personnel in the duration of this eight year war. A Afghan suicide bomber infiltrated a CIA base and killed a dozen agents and eight were injured.

The attacked killed officials whos job involved plotting strikes against numerous terrorist groups along with operating remote-control aircrafts ussed in aerial attacks on suspected terrorist fighters. The base that targeted-- Forward Operating Base Chapman -- is in the eastern Afghan province of Khost, which borders North Waziristan, the Pakistani tribal area that is believed to be al-Qaeda's home base.

Officials are still puzzled to how the terrorist managed to gain access into the heavily guarded base.

These agents are vital to gaining foreign intelligence. "The best intelligence is going to come from the field, and that means working closely with the Afghans," said Bruce Hoffman, a terrorism expert and professor at Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service.

In the agency's Langley headquarters lie ninety stars that represent CIA agents who had died serving their country. The inscription on the memorial reads: "We are the nation's first line of defense. We accomplish what others cannot accomplish and go where others cannot go."

I honestly cannot believe once again terrorists were able to execute their plans once again and terrorize the U.S. How are they able to get a hold of such important information and able to pass security. Haven't we learned enough from 9/11? These agents are risking their lives every day so it's our governments responsibility to protect them. The question is how are they able to get the pass codes and Identification cards to even enter the building. Could their be a mole in the government?


"Our people are often out on the front line, without adequate force protection, and they put their lives quite literally in jeopardy." --John E. McLaughlin a former CIA deputy director
