Richard Perle, as Assistant Secretary of Defense, was interviewed by KRON-TV in 1986. He was asked to defend his belief that the USSR had tested a nuclear weapon in defiance of the Threshold Test Ban Treaty. When asked why he had ignored the opinions of government seismologists--all of whom rejected the possibility that the USSR was in violation of the treaty--he answered "I did not much care what their answer was." For an eerie echo of Perle's anti- expert stubbornness, see this 2002 pre-Iraq war article from the Mirror (UK): http://www.mirror.co.uk/catchall/tm_m...
Also, can some one do a stunning mashup of this NPR interview with Perle (10/12/2006)? In it, he is challenged about his assertion that Iraq had ties to Al Queda. He answers "I frequently hear people say that there's no evidence, and that's simply wrong. I've seen the evidence...I've looked at the evidence and I've come to a different conclusion."

The reasoning is this...The U.S. makes an agreement knowing that they will break the agreement, using the excuse that the Soviets will likely break the agreement. What a hoot.
What stumps me is how the United States could ever free ourselves from the influence of these guys. It's like having the political/intellectual equivalent of terminal cancer or something, they keep coming back just when you think you're rid of them.
well they are stealing ur wealth and are using it to land bombs on our heads in the middle east. At least u still get to live to tell the story. many innocent people, victims of these mass murderer zionists don't get the chance to tell the horror that these monsters inflict on them. u people need to reclaim ur government and the many minds that they have infected with this cancer of zionism. start with Rham Immanual, the man who was in the israeli army instead of US, and now in da white house.
