Dear George,
I just read about Rummy’s new comprehensive antiterror plan, and I think I’m going to cum! Sing hymns of praise to freedom, George, for we are seeing its maturation and fruition in this brilliant plan that frees the military from the chains of diplomatic nicety.
Let’s cut to the chase. Under the Rummy plan, we are going to blanket the Middle East, Asia, Africa and Latin America with gaggles of special ops units. These darlings aren’t just going to gather intelligence. Rummy authorized them to take preemptive action against any group or organization they designate as being a terrorist organization. Two gems are buried in this bureaucratic jargon. First, a terrorist is whomever special ops deems a terrorist. Second, one of the key goals of the plan is targeting terrorist leaders. “Targeting” is a polite name for assassinating, taking out, blowing away, nuking. The crème de la crème on this entire plan is that the special ops people don’t need the permission of our local ambassador to do anything. They tell him after the fact.
Not only are we tearing a page out of the Israeli book, we are going it one page better. Special Ops decides who is a terrorist. This is crucial as the Third World begins to take a swing to the left, which is endangering the Washington Consensus. Do you see where I’m going with this? Let a peon who has been crushed by the neoliberal policies of the IMF so much as protest, and special ops can declare him a terrorist and cut him down. God, if only this plan had been in effect before Chavez and Morales got into office.
What really gets my hormones going is that all of this: the intelligence gathering, the taking out of terrorist training facilities, and the extrajudicial homicides are under the command of a man whom his subordinates consider a bumbling idiot, Dashing Donny Rumsfeld.
Let the danse macabre begin.
Your admirer,
Belacqua Jones
