Military Spooks employing street witches?

Former Green Beret John Alexander was involved in the US government Remote Viewing program. He tells Sharon Weisberger of Wired News about how the program at one point brought in witches who were street psychics.

Danger Room: So, tell me about the witches [who were brought into the Remote Viewing program].
John Alexander: It was a group of women. They were not doing remote viewing. They were doing palmistry, crystal ball kinds of stuff. This was very different from the guys who were the remote viewers, who were following very strict protocols.
DR: Then who were the witches?
JA: They were more like storefront psychics.
DR: Like you have all over in Washington, D.C.?
JA: Yeah.
DR: What year are we talking about?
JA: Must have been the 1990s. I’m not sure exactly what year, by 1995, [the remote viewing program] was dead.
DR: Were the witches successful?
JA: Not terribly. They lacked discipline and protocols.
