Unfortunately, the "newsmakers" have minimal effect in the near term; the beauraucracies involved have inertia to beat the the band. (two examples: 1) Reagan killes the B1, so USAF created the Strategic Program Office, same people, same building, same contracts - when it was revived, renamed again to B1, same people, same building, same contracts. 2) Congress said no mor U2s, so USAF built TR-1s and didn't rename them to the U2 designation until the contract was complete. Same plane.) PHM --- Anonymous <nobody@noisebox.remailer.org> wrote:
All this talk about "government", "USG", "TLAs" etc is rather unprecise, vague and general.
Can we compile a list of 100-200 persons that ARE the US government, maybe then we can examine the issues more scientifically ?
1. George mini-Bush 2. Collin Powel 3. Ashcroft, whatever the fuck's name is. 4. ...
... 200
