An interesting take on the cost of the “war on terror” and also the true level of “Military Intelligence” (for that’s what it’s called) in the US military is revealed in agricultural England.

The post veers off on an entertaining rant about freedom of the individual and also Monty Python and the Lupin sketch. (Dennis Moore)
