Ross Perot died the other day. He was a very accomplished man and a genuine hero. He is being remembered in the MSM today for his independent run for the presidency. But there's another story that should be remembered, and that's how Perot masterminded an escape from Iran of two of his employees following the Iranian revolution.
Here's the short hand version. Perot terminated a contract he had with Iran and removed all but two of his employees. Those two were put into a prison. Perot's escape plan involved his hand picked crew helping instigate a riot which stormed the prison and released all the prisoners. The two employees hooked up with Perot's crew and managed to escape beyond the Iranian border.
