Never Saw Argo

I was very young when all of this occurred in the '70's, and I didn't see the movie. I am so happy that I heard it here, first. Bravo! Argo was one of the most amazing stories I have ever heard, and gave me something I have never felt before; gratitude to the CIA, and good feels. Feeling conflicted. Fantastic story, Redacted, thank you.
