The Jordanian double agent who killed seven CIA employees in an Afghan suicide attack had been working with Jordanian intelligence.
It is understood he had already been to the CIA base in Afghanistan half a dozen times, and on this last occasion, when he went through three layers of security, local guards were told not to search him.
Seven CIA employees, including the station chief and two men who were private contractors from the security company formerly known as Blackwater, died when he detonated his explosives.
The Outfit Formerly Known as Blackwater
Some of your employees are facing manslaughter charges. Your biggest customers just yanked your contracts. How do you repair your image and your reputation? Simple: change your name and cover your tracks.
The Outfit Formerly Known as Blackwater, the huge military contracting and consulting firm, made its bones and its less-than-salubrious name in Iraq. And now it wants to unmake its notoriety. It is changing its name to Xe (pronounced Zee). In a memo to employees, Blackwater/Xe president Gary Jackson says the switch "reflects the change in company focus away from the business of providing private security".
[To providing what now, exactly? Cupcakes?]
