Well, saying that the security of the U.S. "is in the hands of" these loons is overstating the case, but basicly, yeah.

They wouldn't be using it if it never produced results.

Which is the only reason the US bothered, we had to be sure the bullshit the Soviets where publishing about them was in fact bullshit.

There are real psyhics, and I'm not talking about those fakes on the hotlines. Police departments around the country have used psyhics to help them find missing persons and solve murders.

Yeah, and in every case they use the same techniques as the hotline freaks: make a bunch of half-assed guesses and hope some of them are close enough to look good.

Here's a few links on the subject that might be educational. This one also has a large additional links section that may be of interest.

My favorite government psychic project was the one where they tried to determine if they could destroy a missile by burning a photograph of it.

No offense, but speaking as someone who's worked some government job...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

The gub'ment worker's mantra:
Getting results is embarrassing. It put an onus on others to do the same. If you truly care about your co-workers (or not having your car set on fire and getting anonymous death threats over the phone), you will not produce results.

(Yeah, I'm overstating the case a bit, but let's just say that a) results aren't necessarily the most important item on the agenda in a lot of government projects and b) there are all sorts of ways to finagle results whether you got any or not.)

No, apparently it continues within Chyenne mountain and has something to do with aliens, earth history, and a dire threat to our existance from parisitical aliens who have a mineral substance for blood which also powers their uber weapon systems..

Ah. That makes more sense.
"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."

I hate to tell you all something you won't like, but the police also employ psychics, and often successfully, helping them find critical clues and the like. It's odd, i think james randi should look into it.
