Dear @mmhastings - I am deeply sorry that you had the misfortune to have your car blown up by the CIA instead of you being randomly shot at a newspaper office. We both know had the latter happened, your entire profession would have stood up for you. Instead most were silent.
And no, before the inevitable sock puppet/trolls/pro-CIA ppl start populating this thread with nonsense to the contrary, I do not at all condone any form of violence against journalists ever.
The CIA however, can't say the same.

When he died, Michael Hastings said he was working on his biggest story ever. It was about CIA Director John Brennan.
"Hastings’s last article exposed Dem Party leaders including Obama, Kerry & Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin for their support of the same domestic spying programs they'd criticized during the Bush years, but which they worked to expand"

I can count the members of the media who meaningfully investigated what happened to Michael Hastings on one hand. 
If you go to You Tube, type "Michael Hastings" and press enter, you'll find out exactly why he was killed: he had access to sources nearly no one else did and was telling the truth to millions of people, at a time when very, very few had the guts to do so
