Pentagon cancels Terror Stock Market

Perfidy

Following up an earlier post, the Defense Department has cancelled plans to set up the Policy Analysis Market.  In a SkyNews article, US defence chiefs said they had hoped the market would have been a valuable tool in second guessing when terror strikes would occur.

But critics dismissed the move as “unbelievably stupid”, “ridiculous” and “grotesque”.

The good news is that things that are unbelievably stupid, ridiculous and grotesque are our stock in trade.  Stay tuned as the Ministry will attempt to create its very own Terror Stock Market.  Hopefully, we will have a broader coverage than the aborted PAM.  Stay tuned for further updates.
