For example, when Meadows was approached by phone with some ridiculous proposed action, he responds, "Sounds good." I wish I could recall exactly what it was, but at the time I remember thinking what a fly by the seat of your pants operation this appeared to be.

Yes, a lot of people had faulty judgment and cast fate to the wind when they joined up with phone calls, but I don't think it was all that well planned.

Recall that McCarthy and others thought it was crazy and had to be pulled back on board.
