I agree completely.Stikpusher wrote: Based upon what I’ve read, especially in Red Star Rogue, I’ll wager that the recovery mission was more successful than what was publicly acknowledged. CIA is real good about keeping their successes in the dark for decades. And for good reason- a successful op should be kept on ice as a basis for planning other similar missions in the future should the need arise. Why tip your hand and give away the playbook. Only their gaffes that show up in daylight make the news, and then with whatever cover story that has been previously arranged. Plausible deniability whenever possible.
Yes the public has a right to know. But not immediately, not every little detail, and certainly not to put any future lives at risk on related or similar missions.
