Former CIA Officer Says Child Trafficking Intel Had No Destination in System

What was said

"This TFO guy writes this stuff up and the chief of base releases the cable, but it never makes it out of station, never goes to headquarters because that is not something like that's not a mandatory presidential reporting requirement. That's not what the CIA does and that's not what the military does. So who does that?"

A former CIA team leader describes discovering smoking gun intelligence on a man trafficking young boys across the Afghanistan-Pakistan border, including using a child to test a bomb. Despite the severity, the intelligence report had no routing code or destination within the CIA or military systems because child trafficking was not considered part of either organization's mandate. The officer began investigating and could not find any operators who had ever been assigned a human trafficking target.
