Utter garbage woo. I'd say it's indicative of something, but should we be surprised that even large government organizations can be taken in by BS?

- taneq 8y agoI think it's less "taken in by BS" than "eliminating possibilities."
- Cheyana 8y agoExactly this. They had to at least say they TRIED knocking goats out by staring at them.
- mattkrause 8y agoBingo! And it works two ways. The far-fetched worst case scenario is that this actually works, and that some enemy figures that out first. The realistic nightmare scenario goes is a congressman going “DCI Casey, we’ve heard rumors that the Soviets/Qaddafi/Al Qaeda/baddy of your choice have developed methods for controlling minds. Yet we’ve heard little about how you plan to protect the US from such a threat.”
- taneq 8y agoYep. And once they were fairly sure this was difficult if not impossible, they could stop worrying about THEIR goats being knocked out by the USSR's psy-ops teams.
