So some guy with no direct knowledge of the facts, says the CIA grabbed the crew.
The CIA.
This is stupid, to believe it is true is a sign of brain damage.
In 1994, the CIA had no such capability on any level to "snatch" anyone. They would have to work with USSOCOM to do it, and even then they would have had problems. We tried to grab Manuel Noriega in 1989, in Panama, a country where we had free reign to pull all kinds of black-ops (and did), he escaped SEAL Team Six. To abduct ONE person took months of planning in 1994, complete with psychological profiles, names and photos of known associates, floor-plans of known habitations, Sat photos, and weeks of on-the-ground surveillance...and Noriega just slipped out a side door nobody knew about.
On the night of the sinking the CIA and this fantasy strike-team had no such preparation. In fact, IF there was smuggling taking place, the assumption would have been that the MS Estonia would have reached port. There would not have been a contingency for sinking. The next problem is integrating the strike-team into the rescue mission either in the air, or on the ground. The problem is not knowing who would survive or where they would be transported.
The whole idea is pathetically dumb on every real-world level.
The CIA continued to be hit and miss later in the 1990s in Somalia, and the Balkans, and would not become proficient until after 2005, thanks to the evolution in tactics of our Tier-1 units who had a lot of practice in Iraq.
Just when I think this thread can't get any more embarrassing, you post something from some delusional Swede.
