The Mission to Save Foley Ended Like Most: In Failure
By Jeff Stein

Unlike
in the movies, rescue missions rarely succeed. For every legendary
success, like the Israeli commandos who rescued 102 hostages at Entebbe
in Uganda in 1976, many more
rescue missions fail. There was the infamous failed attempt to rescue
U.S. hostage in Iran in 1979, and years before that in North Vietnam, a
Special Forces raid on the long deserted POW camp at Son Tay, to name
just a few. Last year, a French commando died in a failed rescue mission
in Somalia. For every Captain Phillips, there are many disasters.
