Take Clapper eg, he is now Director of Intelligence!! He was a former (and probably future) employee of Booz Allen, one of the 'Security' Corps who get billions of dollars in contracts from the government. Needless to say they would be out of business were it not for the phony WOT. And having someone in such a position as Director of Intelligence, a man who proved just yesterday that he is a liar, someone with questionable ethics, could be very helpful to a big 'Security' Corporation.
He's a Republican too, as is the corporation he worked for.
I am beginning to think this is all about money. But if that were to be proven it would end the billions of dollars they get for 'security'. Nothing would surprise me, that the whole WOT was nothing more than a giant Con Game to enrich these Contractors whose funds were drying up after the fall of the Soviet Union.
There needs to be in depth investigations into just what has been going on with our tax dollars and just who these people are who have our private information in their hands.
