"Outsourcing" jobs overseas is only the tip of the iceberg.
How about the CheneyBush Administration "outsourcing" our
military, our intelligence-gathering, our nation's soul?

Taking private enterprise way beyond what is reasonable, or
desirable, or safe, the CheneyBush Administration has turned
over a huge raft of national-security functions to those not
adequately trained, not accountable to the public or the law,
not showing up on the political radar.

In short, CheneyBush have created what amounts to their own
private legions -- soldiers, intelligence analysts, security
guards, construction experts, supply specialists, et al. -- in
effect, a "mercenary" force bought and paid for by the
American taxpayer.
