After reading the memo... The article, and even calling it the "end-game" memo seems rather sensationalist. I guess that's Vice's MO (not that they don't do some compelling stuff, but they do seem to have a particular flare for the theatrical), but the memo seems utterly banal and only ominous after Palast's shrill interpretations of context. I'm not saying necessarily that such shrillness is unwarranted, but Palast doesn't remotely give the reader the information to connect the dots independent of his interpretations, which on the whole don't come across as level-headed objective analysis.
