"Spec-Ops and CIA First In, Last Out of Afghanistan"

""We put a CIA guy in first," scant weeks after the towers in New York fell, said Lt. Gen. John Mulholland, then a colonel with U.S. special operations forces, in charge of the military side of the operation. U.S. Special Forces Green Berets, together with CIA officers, helped coordinate anti-Taliban forces on the ground with U.S. firepower from the air, to topple the Taliban and close in on Al Qaeda.

Recent remarks from the White House suggest the CIA and special operations forces will be hunting Al Qaeda and working with local forces long after most U.S. troops have left."
