Paranoid Americans will not release Guantanamo inmates despite the fact that at least half of them have been imprisoned for no reason at all.
The same paranoia was evident during the Cold War, when “intelligence” discovered that Soviet submarines had silent propulsion systems that made them undetectable.
The absence of evidence of Soviet submarines became evidence that the silent evildoers were massed just off shore and were prepared to launch doomsday weapons at any moment.
How else to generate the fear necessary to justify to the commons the trillions in DOD spending in support of military Keynesianism?
Just too damned real.
