Here's some of the finer moments in CIA history: Edited for breach of Rule 4.

As of a little while ago no major US news agency is carrying this but will have to sooner or later: http://www.canada.com/news/world/story.html?id=d00b36f9-567f-41e2-81cf-a9f3ccd5f991 The kidnappers want a complete withdrawal from Fallujah or they say they will kill the hostages. Reutrers...
