So, with my ear on the ground (well, with Hicham's help), I recovered an interesting tid-bit of information.
A couple of weeks ago, gun silencers were intercepted in the Lebanese airport. They were headed to the American embassy.
Around the same time, Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea, intalks with Rice, announced that a Lebanese minister would be assassinated. And then, Pierre Gemayel dies with a silencer.
This was reported by Al-Akhbar. It's in Arabic, but you can get someone to translate?

I like to keep my options open. Of course no one did it, but there are so many interesting coincidences that are surrounding this death.
Also, who knows? During Clinton's era, Clinton ordered the CIA declassified information from the past forty years, much of it revelaing Regan's support of bloody regimes through U.S.-backed coups of democratic governments. And we found that the CIA has taken out Salvador Allende, the democratically elected leader of Chile, replaced him with Pinochet, took out democratically elected Pres. Arbenz to install a ruthless regime that served American banana companies interests, were involved with Nicaragua's sadinistas, and the Iran-contra scandal? Oh how the U.S. still reveres the Regan years though. And they still hail him as one of the best U.S. presidents ever, yet he was involed with all the above scandals except the one in Guatemala (which happened in 1953). U.S.-caused, hush-hush bloodshed, scandals and assassinations have happened in the past, so why not now, in Lebanon?
Links to U.S. scandals mentioned above. Remember that these sources stem from information that the CIA declassified. If they were untrue, they'd be taken off the net for libel or never would have been published as a book:

But what does the US have to gain from helping take out a pro christian leader. If anything I would think the CIA would we working to destabilize Hezbollah and the south?
Hmmmm?
It could very well be true, but the fact that it was published in Al-Akhbar makes me wonder. It has recently lost all credibilty after publishing faked photos to incriminate certains lebanese political parties. It is also believed to be the mouthpiece of the syrian intelligence apparatus.
