    At CIA, a convert to Islam leads the terrorism hunt

    By Greg Miller, Published: March 24

    For every cloud of smoke that follows a CIA drone strike in Pakistan, dozens of smaller plumes can be traced to a gaunt figure standing in a courtyard near the center of the agency’s Langley campus in Virginia. The man with the nicotine habit is in his late 50s, with stubble on his face and the dark-suited wardrobe of an undertaker. As chief of the CIA’s Counterterrorism Center for the past six years, he has functioned in a funereal capacity for al-Qaeda.

    When I first read that he was a convert, I knew that he did it to marry a Muslim woman. It turns out I was right. There are dime a dozen "converts" to Islam to get into a Muslim woman pants.

      What did the drone program accomplish aside from civilian casualties? The drone program only carries on because Pakistan allows it. Its awkward how it is noted in the article that they stopped notifying Pakistan. Pakistan cooperates/was cooperating with them on the drone program.
