I?ve been accused of a lot of things in my life, but ducking an issue isn?t one of them. I entered the Army in 1964 when it wasn?t a popular thing to do. I did 20 years? service to my country as an Intelligence NCO and Officer, spent more than 12 continuous years overseas in some places most people wouldn?t have volunteered to be in, doing things most wouldn?t do. I did this at a time when many of my own countrymen, people I defended and supported, disliked what I was doing. When I was first exposed to the possibility of remote viewing as an intelligence threat, I took it very seriously because the evidence already extant 23 years ago was significantly compelling to demand attention. I have now spent 23 years of my life carefully studying remote viewing within research laboratories and applying it in hundreds of intelligence collection circumstances. I have visited other countries and met with remote viewers who are participants in both research and applications, in both civilian and military labs. And, whether you want to call it paranormal or not, I?m more convinced than ever that there is something going on that we should be very concerned about. . . . It is an inescapable fact that terrorist activities and the efforts of terrorists across the world have more than tripled in a little less than two decades. I?ve been dealing with it for 28 years and it?s only getting worse. . . . I find it silly and irrelevant, stupid and ignorant, to continue to ignore a proven intelligence capability that might be used in our defense.
