As the CIA continues to reel from the single worst attack on the organization in over 25 years, the question of how the attack managed to sneak onto a highly guarded military base and hit a CIA building so secretive that even military spokesmen were referring to it initially as a “gym” may be answered.
According to former US officials, the CIA actually invited the bomber to the base, and had been courting him for quite some time as an informant. The attack, it seems, came when they attempted to search him.
The CIA would not confirm the details of the incident, saying they were still gathering evidence. Still, this would explain how officials were able to so quickly point the finger at the Haqqani network as behind the attack.
President Obama offered condolences and praised the CIA employees (conflicting reports have either seven or eight killed in the attack) as brave American patriots who made a great sacrifice for the American way of life.

Condolences, as well, to our brave patriots. How well did they vet this guy? And why weren't they as overcautious as the TSA is told to be?
Brave patriots? Great sacrifice for the American Way of Life?? It sounds like they were directing unmanned missiles blindly at anything that might be connected to the "enemy," killing many innocent people in the process. As the Bible says, those who live by the sword, so shall they die.
Look at the bright side. Maybe they are making the whole thing up, they want the Taliban to think they killed the CIA Chief. That's my story and I am sticking to it.
I wonder if they let their guard down due to NYE.
