...most profound disagreement. I will never, ever accept that abortion is justified because a child might suffer or it is unwanted. Those are two of the most selfish, unpredictable reasons to abort a child that I can imagine. And they cut to the quick of why I'm opposed to it. If that were applied, Beethoven might not have lived.

The agent represents a profound threat to what the Green Berets perceive as a sensitive covert White House operation. A low-level CIA official in the embassy gives a wink and a nod for termination with extreme prejudice. Colonel Robert Rheault, a Green Beret officer cut in the Ollie North mode, orders Chuyen's death...
