SOUNDBITE: (English) George Tenet, CIA Director "From his earliest days, Mike not only knew what was right, he worked to do what was right, At home and at school in Alabama, as a United States Marine, as an officer of the Central Intelligence Agency and as the head of his own young family. And it was in the quest for right that Mike, at his country's call, went to Afghanistan. To that place of danger and terror he sought to bring justice and freedom." 6. SOUNDBITE: (English) Shannon Spann, Mike Spann widow "So I want to tell you something as humbly as I can, just in my own words. I want to tell you that my husband is a hero. But Mike is a hero not because of the way that he died, but rather because of the way that he lived. Mike was prepared to give his life in Afghanistan because he already gave his life every day to us at home." 7. Mid view of coffin 8.

Close-up of people paying respects to Shannon Spann STORYLINE: United States C-I-A officer John Michael Spann, who was known as Mike, was remembered as an American hero as he was buried with full military honours in Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia. C-I-A Director George Tenet told mourners at the funeral that Spann worked to do what was right since his earliest days at the agency. Speaking after Tenet, Spann's widow, Shannon, said her husband "served his country by being good." Spann, a paramilitary officer with the C-I-A's Special Activities Division, received full military honours from the Marine Corps in which he was a captain of artillery before joining the intelligence service two and a-half years ago. He was shot and killed during the Taliban prison uprising at Mazar-e-Sharif on November 25 by rioting prisoners. He had been interviewing Taliban and al-Qaida fighters, including American John Walker, captured after their surrender in the nearby city of Kunduz, a former stronghold for the Islamic fundamentalists. The length of Spann's military service wouldn't usually have qualified him for burial at Arlington. But at his family's request, U-S President George W Bush signed a waiver allowing him to be buried there. Spann leaves a wife, two daughters and a baby son.
