All this happened in the pre Watergate era - it was a different time. Many lies were told to civilians in the name of national security. And that was OK with most people. We were in this situation together. Aagin, the preWatergate era was different.

And I'll bet that was the mindset going into this situation. There was a cold war "end" that justified the means.

Someday we'll know.

Or not.

But in the mean time, I don't believe in unicorns, global warming caused by man, or moon landings. I do believe in horses, climate change caused by the natural ebb and flow of climate patterns, and I believe in the space program - in the Mars program and the space station.

That will have to be enough for you, Bob.

Well, I still think that’s a pretty rude attitude toward our men, but they’re mostly dead anyway. So as far as I’m concerned, have a Guinness and talk about the weather and your Christmas shopping.

I was going to order some flowers for my mother and mother-in-law, but Tom handed me the snake and I can only use one hand.
