Memo

To: Secretary Rumsfeld

From: hchutch

Subject: Ideas

1. Perhaps it's time to stop being so darn nice. After Pearl Harbor, we went pretty darn medieval on a bunch of these folks. Remember what LeMay and Sir Arthur Harris did to the Axis? Might be worth a leak saying we are thinking about things along that line...

2. Perhaps we need to pick up a few allies. I'm telling you, State did us NO favors by blacklisting the AUC. It would be nice to have a solid force of 11,000 fighters who could get things that need doing done - and provide plausible deniability. So they play a little rough with FARC, big deal. FARC's a terrorist group.

3. As inspired from the previous point, we ought to see if we can't duplicate groups like "Los Pepes" (The People Persecuted by Pable Escobar). Might be very useful in certain circumstances - like the radical madrassas.

4. We'll have to do something about what Bill Gertz reported in today's Washington Times about the Saudis and the Pakistanis. If the Saudis get nukes, things could get interesting.

5. Maybe we need to do something about Pakistan's nukes...

Memo

From: SECDEF
To: Attorney General

Subj: War on Terror

1. Something to be said for the LeMay/Harris idea. Any way we can get past the multiple violations of international law?

2. Any way we can find higher-priority law enforcement targets than AUC?

3. Maybe we can sic all those unemployed tobacco lawyers on the madrassas.

4. If Saudi Arabia gets nukes, wouldn't be a shame if they didn't follow OSHA guidelines for safety & surety? Accidents have been known to happen...

5. Didn't the Pakistani nuclear weapons facility (ahem, "compound") forget to pay the transfer tax on those machineguns? Gosh, maybe Treasury needs to be notified, it's been YEARS since we've had a high-profile BATF raid.

6. Up for another round at the Fort Myers golf course? I've got this new driver sitting in a corner of my office that keeps saying, "Hey, Don, you gotta get those silly pants on and see how much distance you can get!"

r/s,

"The Donald"
