Binkie-actually the chick book program was a different program from the one you're speaking about. The one I'm speaking of was propagated by Moral Majority offshoots (mostly) and other weird american christian groups (partly), and the only thing the CIA had to do with the program I'm speaking of was the training of the recruits in such fine things as weapon handling, tactical maneuvering, explosives, and how to properly use a bayonet and/or garroting wire.

Now if only they'd teach these to 10-15 year olds in the US, I think we'd have much more entertaining gang wars.....oh wait, these were the same guys that were involved with introducing crack cocaine to the LA gangs, and importing coke and weapons to said gangs.

So, to bring this all back full circle-the Arab cartoon is disgusting. However, we have done the same thing, and have made NO assurances that we won't do it again (plausible deniability aside, we fucking did it). Therefore, we lose our moral high ground on this one. Now, onto the next diversionary news story........
