Given that the US military numbers ~3x10^7 + however many CIA personnel(probably something like 10^3-10^4), we're looking at 10^2 :: 10^7 that is a small number. I say that what is more objectionable is the use of the word individuals as it carries the connotation that this was not a collective act and that the people involved acted without top level authorization.
