:D It's about men who stare at goats, and those who think they can walk through walls. Actually it's a brilliant book. Very disturbing. Shows how they came up with the sort of tortures they eventually implemented in Iraq. It started off sixties style, alternative ideas about psi abilities and how they could be taught and them utilised by an 'elite' army force. Goat staring, with the intent of causing the animal to have a heart attack, was an example of the kind of things they worked on. Gradually the sixties hippy feel to the research dropped off, and the army got down to the nitty gritty important stuff. How to shatter a person, body and soul, effectively imobilising them. And the book is nothing like the movie of course (which I couldn't watch as the difference so annoyed me).
