Its a great read. I taught the relative of the Colombian presidential candidate he killed (Escobar, not Bowden). I apologize that I'm spacing on the name, it'll come to me when I'm done typing >:(. Anyway, outside of being very vindictive for a good Christian person (shocking for a Colombian, I know), they provided a bit of back story as to how he got actually got killed. If they are to be believed, it was not the marksmanship of the Colombian police, but rather a "Somali Pirate Special" courtesy of Delta. Its a geat book. Try used on Amazon, you won't regret it.

PS Anyone who read the unedited version of the post, please don't quote it. I would say I am being paranoid, but this is Colombia, and I fucked up by posting what I did. :-X :-X :-X

I missed the editing above, but in the book Killer Elite (also a great read) they also allude to the "Somali Pirate Special".  Much of the work mentioned in the book was attributed to the local agencies where actions took place.  The book, itself, is a great overview of spec ops and intelligence gathering from Carter's debacle in the desert to present-ish.
The person who has nothing for which his is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

Yes I thought Killer Elite was an EXCELLENT book.

Thanks for the welcome to the forum,
Sorry to have "spoke in riddles'.
Tom thanks for pointing out to me that if the cinematography is beautifully portrayed on screen, the actors convay their script believable, and the storyline you are moved by, then politics should stay out  :'( Every one has their top picks
I apologize for confusing anyone by my $.2 on Hollywood
