Like, who knew?
Literally.
All I can say is that the Republicans since 911 used the 'fear' of the nation to 'entertain' their political ambitions. I am sure much of this resulted due to blotted legislation that was aimed at buoying an American economy that did not exist in reality.
So, what is really interesting now is, what will be done about this? I would expect Homeland Security and Mr. Panetta to take this all very seriously and rein in this monstrosity created out of fear.
I wouldn't be surprised if the USA is supporting the Taliban at this point. To me this spells a lot of loose information and a lot of loose change that is better left in the national treasury to reduce the debt.
One way of 'bring out the beast' from hiding is to stop the funding to these networks while supporting the 'infrastructure' we know works and is 'known' to the intelligence agencies of the country. Once the 'rouge agencies' are unfunded we will find out exactly who they are what they have been up to.
I look forward to more of good reporting and more insight by the Washington Post. I sincerely believe this took more than a 15 second 'populous' news cycle to capture the audience.
Nice job !
National Security is measured by alliances, border security, policies that work, intelligence that matters, integrity of government, environmental stewardship and a USA military engaged in foreign policy that matters.
Thousands upon thousands of agencies within the USA won't make the USA any more secure simply because it is 'the fashion.'
