November 25, 2011 marked the 10th anniversary of the death of the first American killed in combat in Afghanistan. CIA officer Johnny Michael Spann was killed at Mazar-e Sharif when hundreds of prisoners who had supposedly surrendered chose instead to attack.
An official account at the CIA website said Spann’s “last act…was to warn an Agency colleague of the imminent danger.” Spann was interviewing some detainees when the attack began.
