you know how this was setup, right?....it's just like the cops putting a decoy car in the middle of the ghetto, knowing thieves would not hesitate to jack it.

you, of all people should have a more in-depth understanding of why they deserve what they got.  did they actually believe that the US government was going to assist in over throwing the lao government?  How can these right hand henchmen of GVP and himself be so incompetent, they were supposedly intelligent people, leaders of the hmong community...co mmon sense would have told them that if it's too good to be true, it's obviously fake/a trap. 

We could argue entrapment laws all day but it does not supersede the evil of man and the impending convictions.

yes, us, hmong people do have the right to be butt hurt over this incident (more over embarrassed) but we don't need to get popcorn at a theater, just so someone can reaffirm how dumb we are.

...  kekeke  ...   :2funny:

Actually, we need to " ...  reaffirm (affirm) how dumb we (the/a HA'Mung) are."  ...  KEKEKE  ...   >:D

You, ha'typical HA'Mung, apparently think (affirmed) how dumb a/the HA'Mung is/are  ...  kekeke  ...   O0  ...  so it is pointless to reBUTTal the ha'idiotic HA'Mungness  ...  KEKEKE  ...   8)

We all wondered what really happen?, what's the motives?, What's the truth about the case?, After 8 years since the arrest of General Vang Pao and 11 other defendants, a film base on the actual case has produced, with all evidences gathered from the Federal Governments (ATF, FBI, Homeland Security) along with wire tapping and under-cover surveillance videos, it will answer all your questions.

An intriguing but uneven documentary about betrayal and justice, Operation Popcorn too often resembles its title. New plot lines pop up every few minutes, and repetitive bits of hidden camera footage and wiretapped phone conversations keep you munching along but ultimately never feeling full. Director David Grabias is certainly working with interesting material: a group of Hmong-Americans, the trauma of the Vietnam War still fresh in their minds, begin to consider an armed return to Laos some 40 years after they fled as refugees. Among the alleged plotters are polarizing Hmong-American activist Locha Thao and venerated war hero General Vang Pao. When mysterious American partners approach them with weapons and advice on potentially overthrowing the communist Lao government, the Hmong leaders are left wondering whether everything is on the up and up. Operation Popcorn recalls a remarkable true story that flew mostly under the news radar only a few years ago, but it's presented like an episode of "Dateline NBC", long on court evidence and short on deeper analysis. Most compelling are the interviews with Hmong-Americans about how they see themselves as citizens of a country that abandoned them, and Operation Popcorn is arguably worth seeing for these insights alone.
