I read Annie's book - Operation Paperclip - and got first hand idea of what deep, dredged journalistic piece looks like. she is always very thorough and brings very easily absorbable content i.e. it will 26 minutes for an intercontinemtal missile to reach target. now that's a very easy to consume info rather than innuendos
that's a crazy lady
maybe the people with track records of starting various wars should not be trusted

Annie says that two of the main players on the political party spectrum in America have either cognitive or judgemental deficiencies. she asks "Where are the young, thoughtful, forward looking, wise and dedicated candidates?" My view - they are smothered and stymied by big corporate America - the military industrial comllex - who need puppets they can manipulate.
