Well you know, all this time I've been thinking that "Neoncon" mean Neo Conservative but G. Gordon Liddy has set me straight and now I know that NeoCon is actually "a codeword for antisemitics in the Pentagon."
Can someone please tell me exactly what this guy is supposed to be an expert in anyway (other than dirty politics of course) that ayone would keep him on retainer?

Liddy was Jesuit educated and became a lawyer before going to the army during Korea. When he got out he joined the FBI, was decorated several times and became a national supervisor. He left and became a NYC prosecuter and then joined the W House staff. He was mainly connected with the Treasury dept and guns and alcohol. He proposed what became the DEA. He then joined the White House Special Investigations and got nabbed at Watergate.
He was the one who didn't squeal on his cohorts. He has been known to hold his hand over a candle flame with the flesh burning as a demonstration of strength of will.

I agree, he says what he thinks, the probablem is that rarely makes sense. Gotta love his answer to th question as to whether the lives of Woodward and Bernstein were ever in danger during the Watergate investigation... "No, because I would have been the one asked to take care of them."
