Default Missing CIA operative failed by US government, family says




I would assume the President will not get him back
as it means they fully admit to CIA spys working in Iran.


http://www.theguardian.com/world/201...on-iran-family


[In the fallout from the botched mission,
the CIA undertook a reappraisal of the
rules governing the running of agents.
Ten people were disciplined and three analysts
were dismissed. The CIA also eventually
accepted that it was responsible
for Levinson in Iran,
and the government paid $2.5m to his family,
reports said. He has a wife and seven children.]


[It is not known whether Levinson,
65, is still alive. He was last heard
of about three years ago when the
family received a video of him and
pictures of him dressed in a
Guantánamo-style orange jump suit.
In the video he pleaded for help,
saying “Please help me get home.
Thirty-three years of service to the
United States deserves something.”]



A mess

Neither of the signs that he is holding were composed by someone whose first language is English.

I'd imagine it's very common for spies to be abandoned by their governments if they get caught

I'd be astonished if the CIA weren't in Iran. People who work in jobs like that are aware of the consequences of being caught, and that the chance of rescue or a trade are remote at best.
