An article posted just today by the Los Angeles Times has revealed that the United States government was training the CIA to take down dangerous terrorists, in much the same way that the infamous Bourne did in the book series-turned-movies. Though their web of connections did span significant miles (even reaching countries like Pakistan), their high hopes of putting an end to the likes of Osama bin Laden were ultimately dashed - in much the same way that Bourne's true identity evaded him time and time again. The unsuccessful program, put to rest just a month ago, is already causing serious debates among Republicans and House Democrats alike - the Republicans upset about its end, and the Democrats in turn angry about the secrecy, to the point of invoking a possible investigation. The article went on to further discuss the workings of the program and why it was ended.
Those who have an interest in CIA operatives and the situation of terrorism will probably be roped in by the title alone. Definitely worth a read.
