I do enjoy ripping into Captain Suck Ass Ben Affleck for the falsity that is Argo. The real heroes in the Canadian Caper were Ambassador Ken Taylor and Foreign Affairs Minister Flora McDonald.
I've recently learned that Ken Taylor was a CIA spy. Not only was he the ringmaster in getting the 6 Americans out but he also gathered intelligence for the failed rescue attempt, in the summer of 1980, that doomed Jimmy Carter's Presidency.
How much truth is there to this?
