Overheard in British Columbia

I agree that the business of overthrowing democratically-elected governments abroad should be left to the CIA; they've got half a century under their belt, and know what they're doing. As for State, they'd never send pearl-handled six guns to the Ayatollah, let alone a bible in a birthday cake.

Which shows just how screwy things can get when military intelligence gets involved in things like, say, thinking. I mean, Oliver North aside, you only have to read Army manuals to understand what an oxymoron MI is.

The one officer I spoke with (a survivor of the Beirut bombing) told me MI in Lebanon had no idea Hezbollah would do something that crazy.
