Other than the more overt wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, this documentary illustrates what all that money was spent on in the name of the 'War on Terror', and 'Homeland Security', back home in the 'States. Initiated by J.Cofer Black of the CIA under the Bush administration, it led to the alleged capture and assassination of Osama bin Laden, under Obama.
I caught this when it aired back in September, is quite illuminating, didn't know a lot of this... notably Michael Hayden and the NSA's role.
It asks if the world is safer now, after all that money spent. If 'the Homeland' is indeed more 'secure'...?
Personally, I think outsourcing intelligence work to corporations is as crazy as when they outsourced to foreign agencies, leading to the creation of al Qaeda in the first place... asking for trouble in years to come! They may yet have bankrupted the planet...
So, what is the evidence that the ends justify the means? Was OBL found and killed as a result of all this? Does he even matter?
See for yourself...
