The Constitution specifically allows for Congressional secrecy and military contractors

[think]

22. Ron Paul favors using the Letter of Marque to use private armies and contractors

And you are making the same case for justifying the existence of companies like Booz Allen.

The Carlyle Group has been fined $20 million dollars for allegedly bribing a New York state employee millions of dollars. That's a huge legal violation to be alleged.

The Carlyle Group owns Booz Allen. So a group of investors who paid off millions of dollars in bribes controls one of the most important companies in the NSA private contractor conglomeration.

So would not Ron Paul be proven to be an idiot in trusting private corporations to run our military and espianage units?

The Carlyle Group via Booz Allen example is only one of many examples where private contractors and the military have proven to be a bad mix. Who can forget Blackwater USA!

Point being I don't believe the constitution was written to allow the kind of corporate malfeasance, illegal activity and corruption to flourish within the most sacred areas of America's Govt. No I think the founding father's would be appalled at what has transpired thanks to Bush and the Patriot Act.

Wikipedia: The Carlyle Group

Carlyle had entered into a joint venture with Riverstone Holdings, an energy and power focused private equity firm founded by former Goldman Sachs investment bankers. It was alleged that these payments were in fact bribes or kickbacks, made to pension officials who have been under investigation by New York State Attorney General, Andrew Cuomo.[43] In May 2009, Carlyle agreed to pay $20 million in a settlement with Cuomo and accepted changes to its fundraising practices.[44]
