The CIA's Forgotten Soldiers - A young ethnic Hmong girl brings a log back to a hidden village inhabitaed by veterans of the CIA Secret War and their families in the Vientiane province of Laos on 27 November 2007. Thousands of Hmongs who fought or collaborated with the American CIA until communists took over the country in 1975 remain hidden in the jungles of Laos and are regular targets of the Lao People's Army.
