The Deafness Before the Storm: New York Times

48. No, NOBODY . . .

. . . period-- acts like that. At all. Zilch. Zero. Impossible. I don't know how to say it more clearly. Snidely Whiplash and Boris Badenoff do not exist in real life. They're the Big Foot of human personalities, and they ride on the Loch Ness monster. Don't argue back about it unless you have a live specimen with you. And if you have two together in the same department, they should buy lottery ticket. Not having an ounce of decency has almost nothing to do with it. They must also have a tactical sense so bad they put their pants on over their heads each morning, and a pair of balls that makes them looks down a barrel of a gun to see how fast the bullet comes out. You're talking a caricature of evil that could only exist in a fictitious world. Like Blofeld.

That's still the case even if it's plausible that somebody would lie to get their way, invade a country and torture. Those are irrelevant. Those behaviors have been sighted, and were sighted eons before 9-11. You wouldn't need a Convention against Torture unless it was well-known human behavior, in any country. The first doesn't belong with the others.

However, this is not proof that it didn't happen. (There's always a first time.) All it says is, don't hold your breath waiting for this to be confirmed. And certainly don't make it your first theory. Put it down low on the list.

What are the PNACs and why are they so bad? Was that meant to insult me? I think it was, since it appears to be associated with NeoCons. But remember, my dear Goodwin, even Hitler was right about something, and he is on record as telling the truth occasionally.
