I seem to remember Chalkline having posted over on RPGHost a few months back about a recently declassified CIA operation to seed European countries with stay-behind operatives and caches in anticipation of a Soviet invasion.
The groups were designed to be highly autonomous to prevent one cell from ever compromising another.
I'm fuzzy on the details but I think some of the groups took it upon themselves to become active in Western Europe during the Cold War, assassinating left-wing radicals and engaging in other dirty tricks. This admission caused some embarrassment to the CIA.
Anyway, if anyone knows how to find and recover really old threads from RGHost, the original thread could still be out there somewhere. I'm thinking that it was up some time in the last year and a half or so.
