I think I'll get the Illuminatus Trilogy now - when I read the Chronicles prequel, there weren't online bookshops, and I couldn't get it. In true RAW tradition, I read volume 2 of the trilogy first, of a prequel written after the main work. I was very impressed with his pragmatic-humorous colouring of everything occult and conspiratorial.

Oakman wrote: John Carson wrote: There is no legal or ethical principle that I wouldn't put aside if the cost of adhering to the principle was human suffering on a large enough scale Then you and Bush are in agreement in this, I believe. You simply disagree about whether or not human suffering was avoided - and that is a matter of opinion, not fact. My criteria wasn't avoiding human suffering. It was avoiding human suffering on a large enough scale. How large? Depends on the principle, but I think the "how large" question is another point on which Bush and I might disagree. Of course, much of the time it isn't a matter of avoiding suffering for certain. It is a matter of avoiding suffering with some probability (or, more generally, a probability distribution over various possible sufferings). The estimation of that probability would be the second area where Bush and I would disagree. John Carson

Since Leiberman was not at the briefing, he could not, and did not, express an opinion concerning the veracity of the briefing.
