Well ... the author could play dirty as well.
If the CIA paid $500,000 per "settlement" and 1000 people left their service between 1960 and 1974, then it's obviously a cool half billion dollars.
In other words, make something up ... then bury a note deep at the end of the end-notes that admits the numbers are "estimates". Who says you have to play fair?
- mfoy_ 11y agoBecause if the author isn't scrupulous he loses his credibility, then no one will take him seriously.
- SolarNet 11y agoI think if the author copy pastes this article and then says: "So I'll be estimating the cost was approximately half a billion dollars" the agency might release the papers to prove him wrong. Either way they are punished for using this tactic.
