WNU Editor: Quoting Marc Ambinder from The Atlantic ....

On Monday, 12 new stars will be added to the wall in the lobby of the CIA headquarters building. That's the most in one year since the agency's founding. In addition to the seven CIA employees who died in Khost, five others were killed in the service of their duties this year, bringing to 102 the number of Americans who lost their lives while on the job for the Company.

Our prayers are for the families and their loved ones.
