Speaking of spies, and lies -- there is another side to the extraterrestrial tales invading Washington, D.C. -- and this one involves the politics of UFO believers and the presidential election.
Dana Milbank covered the 'little green vote' for the Washington Post, at the Paradigm Research Group's X-Conference.
Apparently the CIA doesn't always tell the truth. That's not much of a surprise, but according to the PRG, it's the aliens that are spearheading the movement for disclosure:
"The truth amnesty disclosure project is reportedly recommended by the participating extraterrestrials themselves," Alfred Webre of the Institute for Cooperation in Space announced to the humans-only gathering.
Wouldn't it be easier to for the aliens to land the mothership on the White House lawn?
Anyway, here are a couple of reactions reported by Milbank to the Paradigm Research Group X-conference held at the National Press Club:
"Let me check in with the mothership," Phil Singer, a Hillary Clinton spokesman, answered when asked about the truth embargo.
"We're more focused on lifting the government-imposed truth embargo on issues like the war in Iraq," replied Bill Burton, a spokesman for Barack Obama.
Here's a link to Milbank's 'little green vote' video report:

Btw Milbank claims there were fewer than five 'real' reporters at the conference.
