Osama bin Laden was not a 'CIA operative'. He was part of a militia that 
was in part funded by the CIA, through the Pakistan Secret Services. 
There policy was opportunistic - disastrously so - but it was not 
intended to subsidise a war on US embassies or the twin towers.

The fact that any of us is not now a CIA operative remains to be 
proven...
