I think that Spinney, tough not quite with the same impact as Eisenhower at the end of his presidency, shed a good light on the single most important threat to world peace there ever was (and the reason why we have never achieved it and are in a uphill battle to do so). Of course it is deplorable that he only gets to be heard in obscure media channels (though Counterpunch rocks!), since the dangers of financing the biggest standing army history has ever known concerns every american (I am Canadian but still I am preoccupied by it and the beligerant stance our own leader is recently taking). The war on warmongering is on, and it is our responsibility to see to it that they lose. The documnentary "Why we fight" has inspired me to pitch my shoulder to the wheel, and I began with the article on Spinney.
I believe that more people need to know anout him and that information on him be available for people who, like me, have just watched the movie and are looking for his bio on the BEST THING TO HAPPEN TO INFORMATION SINCE THE DIDEROT ENCYCLOPEDIA, than is, Wikipedia.
On the issue of the Pentagon, the book by Jeffrey St-Clair, Grand Theft Pentagon, is very enlightning, though it is badly edited and full of really bad mistakes: if the left is going to seriously attack the hawks of this administration, it better start getting it's editing right!

[edit] Duplicate article
There was a duplicate of this article at Frank Spinney, which I've redirected to this page. I would have merged the histories, but there is too much overlap, so there's still a non-trivial edit history at Frank Spinney, which would only become an issue if there's a reason to move this page there at some future time. Then a history swap would probably be appropriate, which would require administrative assistance. -GTBacchus(talk) 07:00, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
