The CIA's Forgotten Soldiers - Veterans of the CIA Secret War and their families huddle around a fire at their hidden village 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.
