that there is far more under the radar than most are willing to consider. Lest we forget what that agency does and who does their dirty work. It's a double edged blade and cuts in both directions. We have a professional squad of taxpayer funded mercenaries who have unbridled international carte blanche and who have posed threats to those who would investigate them. I don't doubt for one second that they have a red dot (or several) on the president's temples should he decide to clean up the septic tank upon which much of our foreign policy now floats. It's probably the reinforcement used to get Brenner into his current placement and will keep him there until he stops breathing. The secret ops business is thriving and will continue to do so until the corporate beast devours everything it sees as either nourishment or threat.
