No public trial helps keep questions to a minimum so that "we" never want to have to "go there" like, "Why did State allow Erik Prince to build (and profit from) mercenary armies for petroleum soaked nations?"

"Frontier Services Group." You don't have to be Buffalo Bill to know what happens to the indigenous people on the frontier.
