In the days that followed, Jeff was overcome with grief. He called ATF’s peer support contact in the evening who said she couldn’t speak and would call him back.I've never been a big believer in "grief counseling" and it certainly is evident this guy had many other severe issues requiring a much stronger intervention, if fixable at all. I just can't wrap my head around how someone could leave his children to deal and grow up with this, which probably reflects my good fortune more than anything else.
Jeff never received a return call. He later learned that she was at a bar drinking with other agents. [More]
That said, this does provide an object lesson for those of you who are enthusiastic parts of the machine: You don't think they really care about you, do you? And won't serve you up in a second if that's what they find expedient and advantageous...?

He was involved in ruining the lives of American citizens. Not someone I will shed any tears over.
Agreed, and in the end he learned just how much his fellow agents cared about his "sacrifice".
