Try checking out the video clip on a heart attack gun. It's from a program called "Secrets of the CIA" which aired on Rupert Murdock's Sky One, but you can find this specific clip if you search for CIA heart attack gun.

Odom was old, but he was the most credible outspoken critic of the Iraq War. If Obama was the peace candidate he claimed to be (and is not) he would have taken on Odom as an advisor, but we don't have to worry about Obama taking Odom's advice because he's dead.
