The Enduring Similarities Between Indirect Game and Coup D'etats.

The actual coup plot document has some funny gems. Some quotes:

Quote:

Although FAAL believed a larger group would travel to The Gambia to participate in the coup, only 10-12 ultimately entered The Gambia to carry it out (...)

- What to do when your co-conspirators flake?

Quote:

FAAL identified the leader of the group by his code name, "Dave."

- Don't know why I found this one so funny.

Quote:

They also expected to be joined by up to 160 members of the local Gambian military who supposedly agreed to participate in the coup. The group's Operations Plan was stored online where only the members of the conspiracy could view it. FAAL could only access the Operations Plan utilizing a link sent to FAAL's email account.

- Hmm, what could go wrong?

Quote:

[Alpha Team] believed the Gambian Army soldiers at the Sate House would drop their weapons and flee, being unwilling to die for President Jammeh. (...) According to their plan, Alpha team fired a shot into the air, hoping the soldiers would give up. Instead the group began taking heavy fire from the guard towers. Alpha Team attempted to breach the door of the State House. FAAL believes all of the Alpha Team members were killed.

- Slight oversight.

Quote:

On January 1, 2015, FBI agents searched FAAL's residence. During the course of the search, several items of investigative interest were found, including the following:
a. (...)
b. (...)
c. Google satellite images of The Gambia, including images of the area in the capital city, Banjul, where open-source reporting indicated the attempted coup took place. These images were found in a manila file folder. On the cover of the file folder the words "top secret" were handwritten and underlined in black ink.

In the end though, a bunch of people died attempting to make a better life for the Gambian people. The document is funny, but that takes a shit load of balls.
