" The Citadel has a vigorous and versatile propaganda department in the United States called the Committee for Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal or CSICOP for short. You will not be surprised to learn that Martin Gardner and Prof. Bunge are among its spokesmen. CSICOPs method of "scientific investigation" generally is to wage a campaign of vilification, in the media, against any researcher whose ideas they don't like. "
