John Yoo channels Clevinger:

...Clevinger said: "...you're just being paraniod."

"They're trying to kill me," Yossarian told him calmly.

"No one's trying to kill you," Clevinger cried.

"Then why are they shooting at me?" Yossarian asked.

"They're shooting at everyone," Clevinger answered. "They're trying to kill everyone."

"What difference does that make?"
