Mar. 23rd, 2006 08:30 amBoingBoing says that Marvel and DC are trying to trademark the term "Super-Hero," and suggests henceforth that characters owned by those companies be referred to as "underwear perverts." I can do that.
The operation [in the Office of Special Plans] was led by David Wurmser, author of Tyranny's Ally and the "Clean Break" strategy paper from which it emerged. Together with his partner, F. Michael Maloof, who had served under Pearle in the Reagan Defense Department... Wurmser collected raw data, much of it from defectors provided by the Iraqi National Congress, in order to prove an assumption: that Saddam had ties to al-Qaeda and was likely to hand off WMD to terrorists. Wurmser and Maloof were working deductively, not inductively: The premise was true; facts would be found to confirm it.
