Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid told The Associated Press that a Taliban bomber wearing a military uniform and a suicide vest entered the base in Khost and blew himself inside the gymThe last tidbit in the article caught my attention:
CIA employees are believed to be among the dead in Wednesday's homicide bombing inside a base in eastern Afghanistan, a congressional official said.
Before Wednesday's bombing, four CIA operatives were known to have been killed in Afghanistan since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States. CIA officer Micheal "Mike" Spann was killed in a prison uprising in November 2001.Note to the AP: His name is Johnny Micheal Spann, not "Micheal "Mike" Spann". He was called "Mike". He spent his entire short life in service to his God, his family and his country. He was a good man. Here is his widow with one of the three children left to grow up without a father:
Mike, along with other American Patriots were killed because a little 19-yr-old punk, who never made a positive societal contribution in his life and raised by his liberal parents to hate his country, refused to tell Mike during interrogation about the planned prison uprising. His name is John Walker Lindh, or as he liked to be called Sulayman al-Faris. He was a member of the Taliban and had taken up arms against the United States of America. His mission was to kill Americans. He is presently a guest of the U.S. government, staying in a federal facility. (I'll be taking bets on how long it will be before the Pres. Barry Hussein Soretoro Administration releases him.)
Little Sulayman's parents, Frank Lindh and Marilyn Walker, reacted then, and are still reacting today as one would expect liberals to react when their child is captured trying to murder Americans. What's the big deal? Little Sulayman is the victim here, not that CIA agent.
In their first extended interview, the parents of John Walker Lindh, Marilyn Walker and Frank Lindh, join us for the hour to tell their son’s story. He was born in Washington, DC in 1981. At the age of sixteen, he converted to Islam. In 1999, Lindh left the United States for Yemen to study Arabic and the Koran. He later traveled to Pakistan and then to Afghanistan, before 9/11, where he received military training from the US-backed, Taliban-run Afghan Army to fight against the Northern Alliance in Afghanistan’s civil war. He was captured in late 2001, found emaciated and wounded, one of the few to survive a massacre by the Northern Alliance. To his parents’ relief, he was handed to US forces, but they brutalized him, as well. Donald Rumsfeld had ordered them to “take the gloves off.” Democracy Now! 31July09
