    "His first assignment was in Lebanon, in January, 1985. Three months later, he captured and flipped a high-ranking Hezbollah leader." Firstly, I'll bet Hezbollah has never been penetrated, especially by the CIA. Secondly, Hezbollah is the legitimate government of Lebanon because Article 24 of the Lebanese constitution reserves half of parliamentary seats for "Christians", who are about a quarter of the population, as well as the only effective state apparatus.
