The Spy Monster

Post by Tunnelcat »

Dubya gets the blame for starting and feeding THIS privatized monster of a spy network, but Obama has let it grow............ Now how safe are we? I seriously doubt that ALL these people, agencies and private contractors are actually any more efficient at SHARING information and ACTING promptly on it than we were on 911. And how the hell can that many people have top secret clearances and yet guarantee that someone, who works for government pay, won't turn out to be a mole for a higher price? There's no way to keep oversight over THAT many people! What happened to lean and mean? And what's this mess costing us?

Bloated Secretive Network

Republicans want to cut spending and the deficit, well, they can start with this mess of government/private agencies! That IS their mantra, 'privatizing government will be more efficient and cost effective'. NOT!

This about sums up the whirlpool money sucking hole called the intelligence community\"

\"When Maj. Gen. John M. Custer was the director of intelligence at U.S. Central Command, he grew angry at how little helpful information came out of the NCTC. In 2007, he visited its director at the time, retired Vice Adm. John Scott Redd, to tell him so. \"I told him that after 41/2 years, this organization had never produced one shred of information that helped me prosecute three wars!\" he said loudly, leaning over the table during an interview.\"

So I wonder, how much of the intelligence capability is really used against us?

Most of 'em are at a desk surfing Pr0n, I wouldn't worry too much about their intelligence (gathering). :)
It's never good to wake up in the shrubs naked, you either got way too drunk, or your azz is a werewolf.

We could just hire a bunch of monkeys to do the job. It'd be a lot cheaper, they work for bananas, and we get about the same quality of intelligence we're getting now.

Oh wait, the Taliban has already came up with that idea!

I don't like the government being so damn secretive of things all the time >:/ Some things we should know about, and some things we have the right to know about. But! Thanks to a term \"Black Ops\" all these secret organizations, \"Didn't do it, had no part it in. Couldn't dream of doing it.\"
This line is true!
The line above this line, is false.

My in-game name is Freakster as well.

The Spy Monster has taken a turn for the worst. How bad of a monstrosity can our intel agency's get. Ever wonder why they can't catch the true terrorist in America?

\"Dozens of Pentagon and spy agency officials with top security clearances purchased and downloaded child pornography, federal investigators say, and some even accessed the illegal images on government computers\"
