First it was:

In 1988 in Las Vegas, a DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency) agent was convicted of illegal wiretapping but his conviction was overturned when it turned out that the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) had illegally put a video camera in his office.

Then it was:

A few years ago the left-wing government of Angola employed Cuban troops to defend US oil refineries against a Maoist revolutionary supported by the Reagan Administration. It's hard to be politically correct when the world starts to look like “Monty Python's flying Circus.”

“–R. Shweder”, New York Times, September 27^th, 1993

And recently …

You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, and Germany doesn't want to go to war.

But this … this …

In a letter to President Bush, a group of CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) veterans charge the vice president drove the U.S. to war with a “campaign of deceit”—and call for his head.
