A Crushing Blow
The bodies of seven CIA officers killed in Afghanistan by a suicide bomber were returned to the U.S. today in a private ceremony as authorities confirmed that the assailant was a Jordanian informant who turned against his CIA handlers.

... The attack on the remote CIA listening post in Afghanistan was one of the most devastating in the agency's history, killing some of the most experienced people hunting the Taliban and al Qaeda's leaders, and devastating a base at the center of the effort of killing those leaders.
Man, that sucks.
