You have misquoted Pynchon in the above line.

This beauty contains the following:
"So I re-read the first (of five) introductions to the book and sure enough, 
there it was. Right on the first page of the first introduction, written by 
one Mr. Trento, described as an intelligence expert. He outright endorses 
the mainstream media line that the US *blundered* by allying with the 
Islamic fundamentalists who then turned against their creator, etc., etc."
Which implies (isn't it obvious?) that if this intelligence expert endorses 
a "mainstream media line" that he's obviously a stooge.

In which this nitwit says:
<<""the Bush administration outright threatened to bomb the Taliban unless 
they came around and accepted an oil pipeline, or you say it was a gas 
pipeline. These are highly documented quotes. I saved this one from an email 
in March, four months ago.

"In Afghanistan, the hidden agenda is oil. The Bush Administration held a 
series of negotiations with the Taliban in early 2001 regarding the 
trans-Afghan pipeline project. 'At one moment during one of the 
negotiations, U.S. representatives told the Taliban, 'either you accept our 
offer of a carpet of gold, or we bury you under a carpet of bombs'". And 
this is exactly what is happening today in Afghanistan."

This is highly documented. Are you saying it didn't happen?"">>

Doesn't everybody know that secret negotiations are all "highly documented?" 
  I'm sure if I were a Bush admin. negotiator I wouldn't mind such a 
statement being on the record.  Jeeze.
