Obama Information Czar Cass Sunstein Confronted on Cognitive Infiltration of Conspiracy Groups

Cass Sunstein gets a brain cramp when trying to answer Luke's question and forgets that he wrote a paper in 2008 that suggested the U.S. government should "employ teams of covert agents and pseudo-"independent" advocates to “cognitively infiltrate” online groups and websites — as well as other activist groups — which advocate views that Sunstein deems “false conspiracy theories” about the Government." (From Glenn Greenwald's article, 'Obama confidant’s spine-chilling proposal').
