The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.” He knew better than most the threat of letting the pentagon run wild without any check on their power. He also knew the reason that the founding fathers made the armed forces subject to a civilian Commander-in-Chief, a point apparently missed by Broder.</p> Eisenhower warned: “In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military/industrial complex.

Should be fun. And to think no one was tortured either before this sting was set up, after it was set up, and before their arrest.
