The Men Who Stare at Goats by Jon Ronson

I don't usually go for paranormal-heavy conspiracy theory stuff, but I couldn't pass this one up. Imagine an ultra-secret Black Ops program to train American soldiers to walk through walls, achieve invisibility, and even have the power to kill a goat just by staring at it. According to Ronson's research, just such a program existed in the late 1970's, and his interviews with the various people involved indicate a renewed interest in such bizarre schemes as part of the War on Terror. An absolutely fascinating little book. I couldn't put it down for a minute, which is something that I haven't been able to say for a long, long time.
