TRANSCRIPT FOR PEOPLE HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE AUDIO (SORRY):

SPOILER WARNING BELOW PAGE BREAK
Iran hostage crisis.  Six Americans escape to Canadian Ambassador's house.  As State Department, White House flap around like headless chickens CIA puts together a plan to smuggle them out under the guise of a movie pre-production crew.  At the last minute, as DC gets cold feet and Carter decides to go with the military operation that would end in disaster, CIA operative Ben Affleck is ordered to abandon the six Americans, on the verge of discovery, to their fate and come home.  Affleck considers the order overnight and then next morning calls his handler at Langley:

"Someone has to be responsible for these people.

"I'm responsible for them.

I'm bringing them out."

Nice to know we USED to be able to make decisions like that.
