I just heard how the CIA and the NSA are now going to sell contracts to private firms for information gathering and espionage... Small similarity to back in the day when countries would hire out pirates, give them some sort of shaky legal footing, and allow them to do whatever they wanted to the enemy as long as it was the enemy...
...It means no government oversight, like there really is a whole lot of that anyways... it means no need to obey certain rules that public servants might be under, such as the new torture bill that the US just passed not too long ago... it means a whole lot less caring about accidental deaths... and very possibly a whole lot more people mad at the west that might not have to be...
