I hope Kossacks will take the time to read this diary, posted here roughly 17 hours ago: "Engelhardt: Entering the Intelligence Labyrinth," by Tom Engelhardt, TomDispatch via Daily Kos, September 30th, 2014.
As with much of Tom Engelhardt's work, it's brilliant. But, this one (linked above) is, especially so. I hope you'll consider Rec'ing it up, as well. (Please don't rec my post.)
Thanks for your consideration!
