The entire idea of the government abdicating its responsibilities to unregulated private enterprise has already proved itself bogus. It does not lower the cost of doing things and it sets the stage for pre-emption of the public safety and interests by corporations and mobsters.

The CIA has been allowed too much freedom and too much latitude to break laws, sneak around and mis-direct government monies to gather power to themselves. It is a shadow government with no accountability and may well be where the power center is in this country. All paid for by the people they abuse. It can not be fixed. It must be closed down and a new intellegence system constructed that can not go off the rails, can not hide their crimes behind state secrets. Every nasty thing our country has gotten into from the inception of this organization has had the CIA behind the crimes.

No punishment, no control, no future for the country.

What does it say when the country that has by far the largest,  most formidable
fighting forces in the world, including the most intricate intelligence systems
and the most sophisticated weapons and communication systems in the world,
is fighting a small, poor, disorganized country far away and yet has to hire a
private company of militant mercenaries to “help” them do their dirty work?

Smells like there’s a lot of loose money floating around just waiting to kill some
people somewhere and it doesn’t much matter who, where or why—or how. 
And if, because it’s private, what that coompany does and how it does it can be
sort of—well, you know—kept under the table, maybe it can provide a sort
of paramilitary service consisting of methods that would otherwise be illegal,
and at any rate “not our fault.”  So what if we have to pay them a lot more than
we pay those sweet young guys in the regular forces? 

Don’t like it?  Well eat it anyway!  All’s fair in love and war, you know.  That is,
until somebody wakes up to the complicity of it and says “STOP!”
