You can make this stuff up.

Sean Hannity interviewed a representative of Able Defense yesterday. Another great example of how the right works. They never claimed Able Defense was a government organization. But they clearly implied it by consitently referng to the gest as Captain (I heard no mention of were this title came from). And they talked about being interviewed by the 9/11 comission and generally tried to present themsleves as a real neo-con intelligence group that predicted 9/11 and was prevented from stopping it by our liberal government.

Except it's all Bullshit.

There is no Able Defense. It doesn't exist as a legal entity.

The goal of bullshit is to say something that, even if you don't believe it, causes you to subconciously assume an underlying truth that doesn't exist. In this case, that there is a government agency that is neo-con and at some level anticipated some terrorism and validated neo-con analysis.

In fact, *none* of it is true.
