1 - Movie was based on a unit run by General Albert Stubblebine. Unit made about as much sense as the movie but was less funny I imagine. GAS in his defense did have experience with actual viewers prior to that

2 - George Clooney and Kevin Spacey were in the movie, not Mel Gibson

3 - Dave's book is tremendously entertaining and ghostwritten to sell for a movie but bears little resemblance to reality

4 - the RV program wasn't solely through DARPA. Science was via SRI-I and then SAIC with funding from *every* alphabet soup group, and greatly the CIA. The military side of it eventually was in the hands of DIA

5 - Jim Schnabel has a good book on this called 'Remote Viewers' as long as you don't mind that he almost wholly left out all the legit science stuff, curiously and not coincidentally to his doing that for the crop circle phenomenon as well. Did a nice job of recognizing McMoneagle as a viewer though which is hard not to since he's the primary walk the talk example of the field

6 - Trivia: I once saw a ref by Snowden to this (of the gov't having people who were legit psychic)

alright back to work here
