Dave,
This evening, the UK TV Channel 4 is scheduled to carry a program
called "The Crazy Rulers of the World". The first of three programs
tonight is subtitled "The Men Who Stare at Goats", and the summary in
the TV listing magazine (see http://www.radiotimes.com/) reads
" "People are basically nutty," says a CIA psychologist at the start of
this extraordinary series, and by the end you may well believe he's
right. It's presented by Jon Ronson, who has spent three years piecing
together the history of bizarre paranormal programmes conducted by the
US military and others. Take Maj Gen Albert Stubblebine III, once chief
of army intelligence, now retired. He cheerfully admits to Ronson that
he spent a good deal of time in the 1980s attempting to walk through
his office wall, because he thought it would be a useful skill for a
general to have, and, after all, the wall and he were both made of
atoms that were mostly air. He kept banging his nose, but he kept
trying. It's just one jaw-dropping delusion among many."
The Channel 4 web site has a little more, see

Please someone, tell me it isn't true.
Denis
