...may be the BFEE Hound. The turds, through the Brothers Dulles, seized control of the national security apparatus in 1951 and have yet to let go -- and may never let go, thinking it's their birthright. Weird thing is, I believe they're in the thrall of blackmailers from the Middle East -- Saudi (cough Safari Club) and Israeli (cough October Surprise cough Iran-Contra) and both (cough September 11/Permwar for Permaprofits). So, Democracy has to think about that. We would, too, if we weren't so busy getting spied on by the NSA. Sure hope the drones stay pointed overseas.
