  • The young Michael Ledeen

    (This comment is on-topic, if you give it a chance.)

    "The Power of Nightmares" is a three part BBC series about the history of neo-cons. You can find it in eighteen segments at YouTube. I did not read Glenn's "A Tragic Legacy" but I take it the story he tells agrees with the one told in "Nightmares."

    I don't know how links work here but here is a great ten minute YouTube intro to the neo-cons.

    In this second ten minute segment, Michael Ledeen himself takes center stage at two points. He is introduced at 3:30 and he makes a second appearance at 7:30.

    Rinse and repeat. It doesn't get much more astounding than that bit about CIA Director Casey. These folks have always been over the top.
