Martial Law, Military Control, Worms Turning

With the splendid title

Gore Vidal, Octocontrarian

a splendid interview by Marc Cooper in "The Nation" in which you can find Gore-geous niceties like the following:"Whatever was behind 9/11 was well worked out. And there isn't a brain in this Administration that could have worked out something like 9/11. Either to prevent it or to do it."
"And if there ever was great cause for impeachment it would be over 9/11. Never been a case of negligence like that."
"[...] we don't have a government. And to the extent we do have one it is not only corrupt but a menace to other countries, to our liberties, to our Bill of Rights."

Gore Vidal is really pulling "the butterfly wings off professional politicians."
