Plot Summary of Little Green Men
"An acerbic Washington political pundit is driven to the edge by a cynical, unstable government agent whose job is to discredit administration opponents by making them believe they have been abducted, probed and released by aliens. The pundit's life is turned upside down when it gets out that he believes that he, too, has been been kidnapped. The pundit turns the tables when he starts an explosively popular mass movement of abduction-believers. But are the little green men fake, or real? "
garrett simpson, Resident Scholar
