If you are so self-important that you believe it is your job to personally ferret-out government conspiracies, you deserve to be humiliated in the national press--and this blog.
"A must-read for national-security nerds — and anyone
who enjoys humor, really — [The Duffel Blog] provides pitch-perfect military parody
online, such as this piece about Syria hosting Iraq War reenactors (bylined by “G-Had”) or this one about a Google Street View Prius getting blown up in Kandahar. The Duffel Blog, as dutiful readers know, is America’s oldest online source for fake military news, founded in 1797
in a moment of farsightedness. It often gives more real talk than most
legit journalistic institutions, but there is no way you can confuse it
with the real news.
Unless you are a senior member of the United States Senate.
On November 14, 2012, Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) wrote to Elizabeth
King, the Pentagon’s congressional liaison, with a an unusually
credulous query. “I am writing on behalf of a constituent who has
contacted me regarding Guantanamo Bay prisoners receiving Post 9/11 GI
Bill benefits,” McConnell wrote in a letter acquired by Danger Room. “I would appreciate your review and response to my constituent’s concerns.”"
Awesome.
