What's the Prize? Getting ALL National Security under the Department of Defense; further corporate globalization dominance; and own and control all the oil possible from Iraq and Iran. And Venezuela but that's another post.
We're seeing the rise of the old Iran-Contra crooks retaking center stage and trumping the NeoConArtists, for now. This could, get interesting.
This is business as usual, folks. Put the public to sleep with boring press conferences, rile their emotions with phony immigration noise - hey! we're even wondering what that gunshot madness was yesterday?!?

"President George W. Bush has bestowed on his intelligence czar, John Negroponte, broad authority, in the name of national security, to excuse publicly traded companies from their usual accounting and securities-disclosure obligations.

Just a quick point on "esteemed" Intelligence Czar John Negroponte, the old Iran-Contra guy himself. Check out some of his history and know that he's the guy behind the ill-fated TIA. Oh, and Hayden was his 2nd in command, prior to appointment to head the CIA. Oh, and they were connected with John Poindexter who wanted to run a Terrorist Futures trading desk (no kidding) out of the Pentagon. Oh, and they will make sure that Intelligence will end up under the DoD.
