That is sad, but how many of us would bat an eye at the reversal of that headline:

The CIA responsible for deaths of 8 Taliban in Afghanistan

The problem isn't who is doing what killing, but that there is so much killing in the first place. The quotation marks are because their status as CIA agents is only alleged and not confirmed.

I agree. But probably that person saw too many innocent civilians being blown away in Afghanistan by pilot-less drones...

Spot on...human nature

The quotation marks are because their status as CIA agents is only alleged and not confirmed.

here is one explanation ( its not mine)

You know why they don't ever put the word THE before CIA?

You don't use the word The before referring to GOD. They think they are like God.

First off, Happy New Year everyone.

And according to AP News, the guy was invited on the post and not searched; really smooth move on the part of those keeping security.

This whole thing is one tragedy after another. The chief of operations was a mother of three. I don't know what the US should do in this situation, but I really wish we could get out of the whole Middle East. So much death and building resentment in the local populations. I hope in the future we will be able to trust again.

Its nothing new. Muslims sacked Rome and looted the tombs of St. Peter and St. Paul in 846 AD. They tried to invade France and were turned back at Tours. They were turned back at the gates of Vienna. At Lepanto when, once again, they were headed for Rome.

True, Voegelin, although this type of history is far from being unique to Muslims. Europe and its cultural progeny have been heavily involved in manipulating the Middle East. Doesn't seem to be a Muslim or a Christian thing as much as a "We're powerful and your not" thing.

How sad. One of them was a mother with three kids.

AND NOW THEY'RE INVADING AFGHANISTAN, THE VERY HEART OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH
