Dave,
	This evening, the UK TV Channel 4 is scheduled to carry a program 
called "The Crazy Rulers of the World". The first of three programs 
tonight is subtitled "The Men Who Stare at Goats", and the summary in 
the TV listing magazine (see http://www.radiotimes.com/) reads

" "People are basically nutty," says a CIA psychologist at the start of 
this extraordinary series, and by the end you may well believe he's 
right. It's presented by Jon Ronson, who has spent three years piecing 
together the history of bizarre paranormal programmes conducted by the 
US military and others. Take Maj Gen Albert Stubblebine III, once chief 
of army intelligence, now retired. He cheerfully admits to Ronson that 
he spent a good deal of time in the 1980s attempting to walk through 
his office wall, because he thought it would be a useful skill for a 
general to have, and, after all, the wall and he were both made of 
atoms that were mostly air. He kept banging his nose, but he kept 
trying. It's just one jaw-dropping delusion among many."

The Channel 4 web site has a little more, see

Please someone, tell me it isn't true.
