Subject: Re: [IP] The Crazy Rulers of the World

the series is based on Jon Ronson (http://www.jonronson.com/index.html) next-to-be-published book "The Men Who Stare At Goats". From the synopsis:

"In 1979 a secret unit was established by the most gifted minds within the US Army. Defying all known accepted military practice - and indeed, the laws of physics - they believed that a soldier could adopt the cloak of invisibility, pass cleanly through walls and, perhaps most chillingly, kill goats just by staring at them. Entrusted with defending America from all known adversaries, they were the First Earth Battalion. And they really weren't joking. What's more, they're back and fighting the War on Terror"
