Review: Men Who Stare at Goats, by someone familiar

George Clooney has balls like grapefruits! These guys really took it on. Still will Americans overall see the relationship to their daily lives? The people of Oroville?
Or is it all business as usual- a weird movie those hollywood guys dreamed up. "Not enough action." What does Operation Jedi have to do with KRBS?
I have been pondering how to make a good movie on the subject for years, and I really admired how professionally the tools of the script writer went to work.... using interplay between the spoonbender and the soldier and the acidhead to state everything.
In the end you gotta ask yourself "Is that REALLY how the CIA causes heart attacks?"

I been getting a lot of flack from some of my friends for advocating this movie. Mostly because it is presented as a light comedy or a quirky indy film.
I say it at least brings the subject to America's table so we can begin to take our knives to it. We need to declassify EVERYTHING. Not just burn the documents again. Yes they been burning documents on torture. Guaranteed not to stop them as that's what they did with MKULTRA documents the LAST time.
For anyone's edification I fopund an online copy of that military new age trqaining manual in the movie. Which, by the way, George Clooney helped produce out of his own damn pocket and deserves all the respect Americans can give him! A medal at the very least.
