Firstly, I know, it is utterly inconceivable that people in government would consider faking attacks on themselves as a means to discredit their opponents. /sarcasm

Johnson County Prosecutor Brad Cooper said Carlos Lam resigned in a phone call about 5 a.m. Thursday after acknowledging that he sent the Feb. 19 email to Walker suggesting "the situation in WI presents a good opportunity for what's called a 'false flag' operation."

"If you could employ an associate who pretends to be sympathetic to the unions' cause to physically attack you (or even use a firearm against you), you could discredit the public unions," Lam wrote in the email, which was obtained by The Associated Press.

And then they say that "conspiracy theorists" are kooks.

Make of this what you will, but it is a sign that the public pressure may be getting to Mr. Walker.

And this little gem:

Lam is the second Indiana prosecutor to lose his job over volatile comments about the Wisconsin protests. Jeffrey Cox, a deputy attorney general, was fired last month after tweeting that police should use live ammunition against labor protesters.

Should N.A.T.O. get involved in Wisconsin?

(I know, I'm stretching it a tad, but there is some level of hypocrisy here.)

Great find Bill, I loved the sarcasm as well. It is good to see that they finally got outright caught trying to pull yet another scam on the people. I wonder if they will be punished this time? Wait nope he resigned, I am certain that he will never work in politics again (Sarcasm I love it)

False flag operations are so in fashion right now haven't you heard Mr. Walker? This is like a sad joke. I'm delighted the e-mail had light shown on it. I wonder what kind of advice other elected officials receive that we don't hear about?

Resigned?

I thought he got transfered to "Karl Rove's School of Political Advisory"... or was he a graduate, I can never remember the exact timeline? /sarcasm

Sorry, I guess I'm in a sarcastic mood, but will make an effort to lay off it.
