Remember Buckley? Right around the same time as the Sovs were snatched, Buckley, a CIA station chief from Beirut, was snatched. Somehow, the Jihadists knew who he was. They skinned him alive, and its rumored the skin was sent to the US. I have no proof of that. Nevertheless, under torture, he told all. Those Jihadists were never caught. Why? FBI sent HRT in, who were locked an loaded. The Israelis were going to pinpoint the buttwipes holding Buckley, but never did. It was feared that the Israelis would have lost a high placed mole, if they gave the info to the US. Im sure the desicion wasnt made lightly. America had bad luck in Lebanon in the 80s..
