Yeah, yeah....It's been a while.

So I was just watching a TV show on DVD. Do you remember the spin off of the X-files? "The Lone Gunmen?" It was half comedy, half x-files with the 3 computer hackers that were Molder's freinds.

Well, watching the pilot now was kind of spooky. Not because it was a doomed show from 10 years ago and I'm watching it by myself in the basement on a Saturday night. Not that kind of spooky.

Spooky because the story goes...The U.S. government is enacting a terrorism protocol not as a training exercise, but as a way to increase arms sales by starting a war. A faction of the government is going to crash a plane and then let 3rd world dictators take credit and "smartbomb" the hell out of them. As the script reads.

The eeriest part is late in the episode when the U.S. terrorists are trying to crash the plane into the "World Trade Center" buildings and they show the jet clipping the top of the building as they narrowly avoid disaster.
