Of Generals and Weathermen....

William Ayres...Pah! Jonny McCain palls around with successful Terrorists, not wannabe hippies. Four figure terrorists, not your namby-pamby 'oh, pass the dookie', kaftan wearing freak-asaurs. Ones with nice uniforms and fine economic theories, guns, camps, torture chambers, you know, infrastructure. Jonny McCain admires their international reach (the 1976 assassination of former ambassador to the US and former Foreign Minister Orlando Letelier in Washington), with ambition and a great deal of ingenuity, pluck if you will. Ones with access to delightful country retreats ('The McCains spent the three and a half days fishing for salmon and trout and riding horses').

This is not particularly to do with McCain, but rather the grime and the muck, the residual evil that enthusiastic dabbling in the Dirty Wars, both in South America and Asia that stuck to politicians of varied stripes in the west. Lest we forget....the Cold War was hot
