::Ah! But has anyone read the book? Do any of the editors of this article even''know'' it was a best-selling book? And if any of them did, why is Condon given no credit in the opening section? Hollywood rules!![[User:AlanE|AlanE]] 17:48, 14 March 2009 (EDT)

:::IIRC I had a reference for "far-fetched". Anyway, it's based on a false premise: the theory of [[mind control]] which was discredited 20 years ago. There is no such thing as [[brainwashing]] that can make a person do something he ordinarily would not do willingly. And there's no proof that [[hypnosis]] has that power, either.
:::Conflict of interest statement: I am a member of [[Unification Church|a church]] whose members were said to be under mind control, and hundreds of them were kidnapped - which I find distressing, not to mention personally distasteful. So please watch me closely and revert me if I make any biased edits here. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 21:06, 14 March 2009 (EDT)
