Remember Mike Spann, Nov. 25,2001

On this date the Alabama native was killed in a prison uprising, becoming the first American killed in the invasion of Afghanistan. Most people will remember him as the CIA operative who was interviewing John Walker Lindh moments before the prison uprising that took Mike's life.
