Operation Argo

1. Take one cwaaazy Imam, a CIA division chief, an Academy Award winning makeup artist, a rejected screenplay, and drawings by Jack Kirby
2. Add American hostages in a country in revolutionary turmoil
3. Toss in a dash of six Americans hiding out in its capital
4. Shake well and serve

Wired has its most compelling story in years about the daring exfiltration of six Americans who slipped through the fingers of Iran's Revolution Guard in '79. I just hope that whomever optioned/options this doesn't plan on casting some flavor-of-the-month as Tony Mendez.
