    CIA had birthday cake ready for suicide bomber that killed 7

    CIA officers in Afghanistan were so eager to meet the spy they believed would help them crack al-Qaida's leadership they planned a birthday celebration for his visit in December, current and former U.S. officials said.

    A birthday cake was waiting.

    But before they could even begin to question their golden source, he detonated a powerful bomb, killing himself and seven CIA employees in one of the deadliest attacks in the agency's history.

    Humam Khalil Abu-Mulal al-Balawi, a 36-year-old doctor who had been recruited by Jordanian intelligence officials, was really a double agent.

    The account of the planned birthday gathering is the latest evidence that CIA officials at the Afghan base trusted the Jordanian and wanted to build rapport with him. It was confirmed by current and former officials briefed on the case, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter.

    You know what would be really funny? If a bunch of people got on a plane thinking they were going to fly somewhere and instead someone crashed their plane into a building. Oh, good times. Good times.

    Hmmm, what kind of cake was it? Could have been the thing that pushed him over the edge. This is why we need to start giving birthday pies...everybody loves pie.

    That was morally repugnant. In my opinion a statement like that puts you on the same level of human trash as anti-abortion activists who protest at military funerals.
