Larry Wilkerson is one big truth bomb.

"We have become a national security state, that means our reason for existing is war and defense contractors are the merchants of death."

Note: the audio has some problems at the beginning, but it's a great speech. Ought to be amplified the world over.

...tonight, while walking laps at an indoor track.

Colonel Wilkerson is very impressive - speaks well, and has a sophisticated vocabulary. I always enjoy listening to him when he is on MSNBC.
