Three Americans have been arrested over their alleged involvement in a failed coup in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

Are they CIA?

Should be easy enough to figure out given that the white guy's passport has already been shared on the internet.

I learned this from Mission: Impossible.

Thanks for the music video. I’d never heard the Miley Cyrus song, so this was a treat! The animation was great too. I always watch videos with the captions on, so it was easy to follow along with the lyrics to the song, which was very well presented. I wonder if the creators have had any visits from the CIA yet.

You're likely right.
