First it became a brand name in security for its work in Iraq and Afghanistan. Now it's taking on intelligence.

Somehow I don't think these particular spies' investigatory talents will be utilized to discover the origins of the Harris fire.



Yeah, leave it to Cofer Black.

I'm so cynical that I think soon there will be shit going on in the border area that we residents of San Diego have NEVER seen before. Weird shit like, oh, how about suicide car bombers ramming Border Patrol vehicles? That's always a clue that the CIA is pulling shit in the neighborhood. Or drug runners using illegal Mexican mules except for maybe one of the mule's backpacks has explosives in it instead of drugs. These guys never stop coming up with reasons to create yet another underfunded law enforcement agency that will inevitably need to be supplemented with overpriced, overfed, overripe contractors who are accountable to no one. Double-dipping ain't near enough money for these greedy motherfuckers.

Hey, didn't the Roman Empire rot from the inside out?
