Who ARE these ex-Soviet Cassandras, like Bodansky and equally "controversial" Col. Lunev, whom diehard fascists such as Gen. Singlaub periodically trot out on a leash, like an organ grinder's performing monkey, for what (on closer examination) turns out to be purely informal "testimony" before Senate committees, who don't really believe them. If their "inside knowledge" of foreign affairs is so great, why are these "Soviet defectors" treated so coolly by the CIA and the State Department? I'm tired of hearing such tabloid alarmists-for-hire spin worst-case sci-fi scenarios whose sole purpose seems to be to encourage a pre-emptive World War III with Russia, for the greater glory of our old Cold Warriors, who'd then be admitted back into the seats of power, in the paranoia of war. Add Corso to the list of disgruntled homegrown Nazis who, personally or by proxy, have turned to confabulation as a strategy to drum up support for their Napoleonic ambitions. Talk about doomsayers! If it isn't an invasion from outer space, it's the Russkis with (1) suitcase nukes, (2) super-toxins, or (3) assassins secretly stalking the President; and if you don't buy the Russkis doing it, they'll try to sell it as Red Chinese or Arab terrorists.
