The Drone Program

I didn't know this, but it turns out the suicide attack on the CIA officials in Afghanistan was targeting our Drone program.

"We attacked this base because the team there was organizing drone strikes," a commander allied with the Afghan Taliban told the Wall Street Journal. He said the attack was timed to kill the woman who led the team, since the Taliban knew she would be there that day. A Pakistani Taliban commander told the AP a similar story and added that the bomber was recruited as a "CIA agent" but turned against the agency.

The upside of this story - the CIA are apparently doing their job if they were getting under the Taliban's skin. It is of course terrible the Taliban were able to hit us back and that 7 people died serving the country. But I don't suppose we can be in a war without expecting some casualties. It is somewhat refreshing to hear someone is out there on the front lines fighting these guys and causing them to loose sleep.
