1. You may remember reading the hired group of assassins in Bolivia

were also involved in rounding up these missile with the intention of bringing down airplanes carrying Evo Morales and his vice president and cabinet members.

Apparently that's a valuable weapon to these right-wing ghouls.

It's good to know they know who's involved in this one. Very, VERY good. Hope to hear more about it, as they learn more. It would be excellent if they could grab everyone involved.
