Today's Democracy Now was really wierd, featuring Thomas Moorer, a former chief of staffer for Johnson and Nixon, later a John Bircher far right wing conspiracy theorist...Today's topic was the USS Liberty, with an "independent commission" headed by Moorer calling for an investigation by congress into the incident... http://www.democracynow.org/article.pl?sid=03/10/27/1625213

She had him on back when when April Oliver was spinning her Tailwind Tale... Anyone read Jerry Lembcke's recent book unravelling the rightwing conspiracy theorising that went into the Tailwind Tale presented by Oliver, Moorer, and Singlaub on CNN in 1998? It's an excellent book cautioning against leftists embracing rightwing conspiracy theorists and their nativist-militaristic narratives...
