Cover Up -- Quiz Quilt 218 Puzzle
Robert Jen
Ventura was still raving at the U.S. government for covering up the
actual cause of Pat Tillman's death in Afghanistan. Initial reports
claimed that his unit was ambushed outside of Sperah, but the
embarrassing reality was that two allied units accidentally shot at
each other.

Hmm. Somewhere in Central America, I think. I don't think it's

RODEO.

No idea.
No, wait, it's PEROT, isn't it?
Hmm.
Maybe SPAIN is wrong... ah, TOUPEE, appropriately reading upward.
(And SPAIN fits after all, I just missed that _O_PEE could be a word.)
So the flag country must be CUBA, and STRUNK is a name that fits.

Hmmm, I think you mean blase (with that doohickey on the 'e' if you
prefer). I've never heard that pronunciation, but I can see it.
