In reply to the discussion: Greenwald's Latest - He is counter punching to great effect! [View all]MrScorpio
(73,772 posts)After, no one would be talking about the extent to which the private enterprise, corporate infrastructure exploits a compliant Congress, outsourcing most of our surveillance capability, robbing the government of large part of its oversight capability.
Also, no one would be questioning how companies like Booz obtain those contracts, how they're able to attract so many intel and IT professionals, obtain clearances for them, pay them a lot more money than they do, over government salaries, and then set them free to operate without a lot of government oversight.
Also, no one would be talking about the commercial application of this surveillance technology.
Also, no one would be talking about the corporate/goverment revolving door.
While Greenwald is busy patting himself on the back with his oh-so wonderful description of the non-partisan nature of this problem, is he talking at all about much of the blame that should be pinned on the corporate part of the Surveillance/Industrial Complex?
I'd love to see the guy follow the money, wouldn't you as well?
