I like the first comment on the story in this link: Iran and Hezbollah Caught All the CIA Spies at Pizza Hut

So much for the CIA's "Spook It!' program where for every 10 verifiable pieces of intelligence, operatives would get a free personal pan pizza..... (Edit comment)

The CIA probably shouldn't have put all their sources in their friends and family profile, or friended them on facebook either.


PS anyone really think this happened?

actually, the best explanation for the outing of these guys is that they are the ones who got lazy/complacent and that Hezbollah's counter-intelligence section is pretty good at doing their job

My experience is the ones who get outed are the ones we've targeted. What better way to get rid of a bunch of terrorists than to have them picked up by their own authorities?

Reportedly, a couple of the informants were high up in the ranks of Hezbollah. In espionage, using shortcut tactics will likely get you caught.

I didn't see where any of our folks had been PNG'd. Until that happens I'm not buying the story.

You're right. It totally reflects the current administration.

These agents slipped up. If you're about to say the CIA has had a perfect record for ANY 5 year span before this, it wouldn't surprise me.

I'm no fan of Obama, and there are many things we can legitimately blame on him and his administration, but this isn't even close. Congrats.

You're damned straight it reflects the current administration.

Why would we give the muslim brotherhood access to the higest levels of our intelligence apparatus and not expect to be stabbed in the back?

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.”Marcus Tullius Cicero (Ancient Roman Lawyer, Writer, Scholar, Orator and Statesman, 106 BC-43 BC)

Let's go with Godfather pizza the next four years and see if we can do better.

This reflect Clinton's gutting of the national defense apparatus. Obama couldn't have fixed this had he wanted.
