This article needs an image (preferably free) related to the subject, such as a picture of the set or a film poster. A possibility for American films from before 1964 would be a screenshot from the trailer, as these are now in the public domain. Please make sure fair use is properly observed, or the image will be removed. See WP:Films MOS for image guidelines and assistance in uploading.
Maintenance A plot summary needs to be added to this film article, or the current one needs to be expanded.

Having just read the book "Vengeance: The True Story of an Israeli Counter-Terrorist Team" by George Jonas, I find the characterization of it, in the brief on "Sword of Gideon", as "...a fictionalized account of the incident.", to be judgemental rather than factual. If the characterization was an impartial statement more along the lines of "...an account of the incident which has been criticized as fictional, as well as having attacted compliments from knowledgeable commentators..." it would be more appropriate. The fact of the matter is that for "Black Ops", a narrative such as this can likely never be proved nor disproved in its entirety, as George Jonas himself has said in effect and in much more detail within the book itself. --RCopple 04:12, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
