After Mossad, Resistance Undermines CIA Myth: A Severe Blow that Shook US Intelligence
Under the title "How Could the Resistance Break the Secret Structure of CIA?", "as-Safir" Lebanese newspaper informed Friday that "CIA station in Lebanon is a vital center of American intelligence, which work goes beyond Lebanese territory to Syria."
"The CIA concentrated its security and intelligence work on the Lebanese resistance, especially since July 2006, in what appeared to be an attempt to compensate for the "Israeli" failure in its thirty three days of July war on one hand, and the erosion of "Israel's" security networks, on the other hand," the paper added.
Confirming that "the extent of physical and moral damage that CIA station is suffering needs a great effort," "as-Safir" clarified that "the US lost a station, officers and agents which are hard to replace quickly."
"This means that repairing the damage to the need for a long time," the paper added.
The paper pointed out that "what the resistance presented and was confirmed by the US leaks, means the following for both the station and its officers:
First: the collapse of the CIA Lebanese station administration with all its officers, agents, programs, and thus its inability to continue to work with the same "equipment".
Second: the collapse of CIA station with all its members after they became practically "burned". CIA's long years of effort went in vain.
Third: the collapse of the CIA's agents' networks.
Fourth: exposure of the security program and action plans.
Fifth: the exposure of working methods (recruitment, interviews, tactics, movement and security camouflages."
"As-Safir" moves on to stress that "the resistance that succeeded in undermining the myth of "Israeli" qualitative deterrence, destroying the "Merkava" myth parallel to the qualitative superiority of the "Israeli" elite units, demolishing the marine control and collapsing the legend of "Mossad's" long arms in recent years, adds to its record the ability to duel the CIA."
Asserting that "the CIA's reputation received a severe blow", the Lebanese paper explained that "the CIA total damages exceeded the Lebanese arena, especially as the echoes of what happened shook the CIA's walls in the US capital as the successive leaks revealed."
