"and Chertnoff seems completely detached from the whole thing." Chertnoff definitely has cognitive dissonance moments. He often describe entirely completely different sets of events than what is going on. Did you know when the issue of cognitive dissonance was first explored..........its strangely apropo to the current situation: "Cognitive dissonance was first investigated by Leon Festinger and associates, arising out of a participant observation study of a cult which believed that the earth was going to be destroyed by a flood, and what happened to its members — particularly the really committed ones who had given up their homes and jobs to work for the cult — when the flood did not happen. While fringe members were more inclined to recognise that they had made fools of themselves and to "put it down to experience", committed members were more likely to re-interpret the evidence to show that they were right all along (the earth was not destroyed because of the faithfulness of the cult members)." learningandteaching.info I suspect Mr. Chertnoff experienced a great deal of confusion during his teen years.
