The "Canadian Caper" involving the rescue of six American diplomats during the 1979 Iranian Hostage Crisis is now immortalized by Hollywood's 2012 hit movie Argo. AS/COA hosted a discussion with Ambassador Kenneth Taylor, former Canadian ambassador to Iran, his wife, Dr. Patricia Taylor, and Canadian Senator Pamela Wallin to revisit the events, Hollywood's interpretation of the story, and the significance of the events today. "If there's any lessons to be drawn on this, I think the one aspect is, 32 years later, similar things are happening. The Benghazi case is a particularly tragic one," said Taylor.
