An interesting story about CIA prisoners in China.

Way, way long story, and it's from the CIA web site and is so obviously full of propaganda that it makes me want to cut their budget, but it's interesting nonetheless.

Reader's Digest Summary:

Two CIA agents got shot down flying a secret mission over China in 1952. They were in a Chinese prison for roughly two decades before being released. Yeesh. That would have to be a downer.

I've never understood CIA's affinity with Yalies.

Skull and Crossbones experience?

More likely a sense of tradition/fraternity. It's one of the major problems with that organization, IMO.

Which organization? Yale or the CIA?

I would imagine that the CIA would definitely promote that. If you're out trading arms with Yemeni rebels, you want to be sure that the guy in the office in Sana is completely loyal to you.
