Was reading the NORML news and found this story. Thought it was interesting and worth noting. Welcome to America the beautiful police state. Pretty soon the defense contractors will be doing counter-narcoterrorism operations in the US. If they aren't already....

September 20, 2007 - Washington, DC, USA
Washington, DC: Federal contracts totaling $15 billion dollars have been awarded to five US defense contractors – including Raytheon and Lockheed Martin – to pay for counter-narcotics efforts overseas, according to a recent report published online by GovernmentExecutive.com.
"Contractors shall provide security and related services in support of counter-narcoterrorism," the article states. "Due to the rapid adaptability of the counter-narcoterrorist threat, special federal government spending authorities are [now] available" on behalf on the Pentagon’s Counter-Narcoterrorism Technology Program Office.
The contractors will provide equipment, material and services to the Pentagon’s counter-narcotics program, a separate Washington Post article states. The program develops and deploys "technology that aids in disrupting, deterring, and denying the flow of [illegal] drugs, people, information, money, and weapons related to illegal drug trafficking and narcoterrorism."

"Contractors" is just a word to cover up that these are actually mercenaries.
No real democracy on earth would ever use mercanaries, no real democarcy would ever privatize a prison system either btw. _________________ █ Please read the Board Rules and Posting, and you

Why not? Private corporations print our money for us. That's the big one to worry about. All of the Bin Laden tapes come from Intel Source, another private corporation that I guess we should believe can gather intelligence and get their hands on these tapes before our own military intelligence.
You know that whole idea of everyone stand up and be counted, make a difference......we're never going to get the chance. _________________ -Brother Adam (we are all one family)

Police officers acquitted for beating a 64 yr old man recently in New Orleans. In the words of their defense attorney "all he had to do was comply"....and they wouldn't have fractured his face. |
