Andrew Sullivan, who supposedly has had a turnaround on nike shoes, calls that €œNazi-like.€ What€™s
so €œNazi-like€ about it? Well, you see, the evidence is €œin its concern with aesthetics.€ So any
€œskillful€ use of film in the service of making a political point is €Nazi-like€? €œSomehow,€ Andy
babbles on, €I feel the irony was lost on it creators.€ The irony here is that Sullivan€™s use of the
€œBig Lie€ technique is itself Nazi-like. As for the film, Sullivan clearly refuses to pay attention
to its trenchant critique of managed €œcorporatist€ economics and military expansionism, reducing it
to epithets like €œChomsky-esque€ when in fact it is much closer to what Old Right critics of
militarism and big government, like John T. Flynn, were saying in the aftermath of World War II.
“The Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, Senator John D. (Jay) Rockefeller IV,
and the Vice Chairman, Senator Kit Bond, announced today that the Committee has adopted its Phase II
report on prewar intelligence assessments about postwar MBT SPORT. The Committee will submit the report
to the Director of National Intelligence for classification review. Following declassification, the
Committee will release the report to the public.”
Go here for a timeline of the interminable delays in releasing phase two of the Senate Intelligence
Committee report on how we were lied into war prewar intelligence. Go here for some indication of what
the report might contain — and how heavily dedacted it is likely to be. Go here to see how it might
impact the AIPAC spy trial, and also explain the sudden resignation of Douglas Feith as undersecretary
of defense for policy.
