Please
remember that our military men and women are
fighting for the freedoms that we enjoy - and take for granted -
every day. Many are currently stationed in hostile
lands. Take a quick moment to send them support from the
homeland at Operation Dear Abby.
White
House Press Briefing - November 29, 2001
Question:
It's a sad story about the CIA agent who was killed, but
it's very important that the CIA made the announcement, which is a
change of policy. Does this mean that the CIA will now be more
forthcoming in announcements that have to do with intelligence? And
do you have any details about his execution, which was apparently
pretty gruesome?
MR. FLEISCHER:
I would just refer you to the CIA on this topic. The CIA did make a
statement, Director Tenet did. And this is a very sad day. It's sad
for the country, it's sad for the CIA. They are a very close family.
And I think all Americans take note of this. And any loss of life in
the war in Afghanistan is troubling to this country, and so, too,
today's loss.
Question:
Can you tell us if and how the President was informed of Mr.
Spann's death, the CIA agent who was killed in Afghanistan,
what his reaction was, and if he has called the family?
MR. FLEISCHER:
I was not there when the President was informed. I would just
presume that he was told at his usual intelligence briefing, one way
or another, by Director Tenet. And the President was aware of the
announcement, of course, the public announcement that the CIA made
today. I do not have any information on any phone calls at this
moment.

and most lasting things she did was help organize and create a way
to
send mail / email, etc. to our troops.
Far away from home and needing our support, this grass-roots effort
