Wiki:  From 1959 to 1964, Tibetan guerrillas were secretly trained at Camp Hale by the CIA. The Tibetan project was codenamed ST Circus, and it was similar to the CIA operation that trained dissident Cubans in what later became the Bay of Pigs Invasion.

At the time of the sexytime Bob Dechert emails with a Xinhua reporter, the federal government's primary announcement of the day, and anouncements they are, no questions please, was Aglukkaq's appeal for Somalia.
