#2 You mean like the attack on CIA headquarters?
Or were you refering to the kidnapping of Buckley in Lebonon?

#3 *snort* whatta card, "Chuck"!

Buckley was an Army LtC employed by the CIA as Embassy Political Officer and Station Chief in Lebanon, not Iraq. Kidnapped and held for 15 mos of torture then hung. Your analogy is not only inaccurate, but offensive. Buckley was in no way controlling forces in his own country against an insurgency. Idjit.

#4 I think that was the problem, he was at home and in his home country - everyone can't have the relative safety of the green zone
