Ares took note of the Center for Security Policy's "occasional paper" on the evils of EADS a few days ago. Now a curious little site called TeamJCA, which exists to lambaste the European company, has linked (and selectively quoted) Michael Bruno's story - but not my fisking of the CSP's diatribe, which among other things managed to link EADS to both Nazis and Communists in a single paragraph.
But who is "TeamJCA" anyway? Patriotic Americans, to be sure, but also bashful enough to hide behind a wall of anonymity - which is sad, because it might confuse people into thinking that they were a bunch of gutless weasels. Their link buddies include an equally modest crew running "Casa Crash" - which, by an odd coincidence, featured the same peculiar Nazi interpretation of an IG Metall magazine cover as the CSP used. Both sites - and other siblings like Crooked Airbus - have other interesting features. They are literate, talking in extended sentences with subordinate clauses and stuff, and are cleanly styled -- that is, they look like the work of a paid professional. Who's funding this underground lobbying? We're watching you, guys.

Who knows, but CSP just put out another shorter version of thier EADS story and it is pretty funny:

The original report is a bit out there, but this one with a Catch-22 reference is genius.
