Eyeball-Fly Foreign Policy

Jonathan Martin:

Cofer Black was a top CIA counter-terrorism official on 9/11.

It was in that capacity that, per Bob Woodward's "Plan of Attack," he told President Bush of what he planned to do with the evil-doers.

"We're going to kill them. We're going to put their heads on sticks. When we're through with them they will have flies walking across their eyeballs."

The flies-on-the-eyeballs guy will now be advising Romney on national security.

Mr. Black, your ideas are intriguing, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
