Gripping story – err not so much

I was reading this piece by Eric Margolis which started to detail some seemingly frightful stuff:

The film Seven Days In May is one of my all-time favourites. The gripping 1964 drama, starring Burt Lancaster, depicts an attempted coup by far rightists in Washington using a top-secret Pentagon anti-terrorist unit called something like “Contelinpro.”

Life imitates art. This week, former military intelligence analyst William Arkin revealed a hitherto unknown directive, with the Orwellian name “JCS Conplan 0300-97,” authorizing the Pentagon to employ special, ultra-secret “anti-terrorist” military units on American soil for what the author claims are “extra-legal missions.”

In other words, using U.S. soldiers to kill or arrest Americans, acts that have been illegal since the U.S. Civil War.

I’m was all like uh-oh, spooky. Then the next paragraph:

This frightening news comes as Washington is gripped by reborn, Cold-War-style paranoia, ominous threats of war against Iran from the real president, Dick Cheney, and a titanic bureaucratic battle just won by Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. – emphasis added for people who need to be told that sort of thing

At that point, I can’t read any further. If you’re going to wear your tinfoil hat proudly in a publication, don’t expect to be taken seriously.

    Agreed, once they start the loony lefty lies, they make themselves irrelevant.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
