'It’s not illegal if I say it isn’t!'

Another Runaway General: Army Deploys Psy-Ops on U.S. Senators - Michael Hastings - Rolling Stone: "'My job in psy-ops is to play with people’s heads, to get the enemy to behave the way we want them to behave,' says Lt. Colonel Michael Holmes, the leader of the IO unit, who received an official reprimand after bucking orders. 'I’m prohibited from doing that to our own people. When you ask me to try to use these skills on senators and congressman, you’re crossing a line.'

...'We called it Operation Fourth Star,' says Holmes."

...But when Holmes brought his concerns to Col. Gregory Breazile, the spokesperson for the Afghan training mission run by Caldwell, the discussion ended in a screaming match. 'It’s not illegal if I say it isn’t!' Holmes recalls Breazile shouting."
