Not Public Servants Answerable to the Public
But instead, Pentagon, now a corporate entity, pays shadow government subcontractors to speak to the public :
On 6/3/05, the Bush administration lacked the courage to face its accuser directly. Jim Lehrer of Newshour on PBS moderated a discussion between Amnesty International and the Bush administration. The topic was Amnesty's recent allegations concerning prisoner abuse in the American version of Stalin's Gulag Archipelago.
Amnesty sent William Schulz, their executive director in the United States. Lehrer invited the Pentagon to send a representative. Instead, they sent their proxy, Neil Livingston, CEO of Global Options, a security firm with expertise on the subject of terrorism. -- Jason Miller
I haven't seen the inappropriateness of this or discussion of what the hell became of the responsibility of public officials or what the hell has become of our democracy or what the hell kind of model they are using in place of democracy. Clearly they think they are running a corporation and haven't the least understanding that they are public servants.
Here is the Company Profile of GlobalOptions, Inc.:

Risk Management & Security
9/11. SARS. Iraq. And it's just the beginning of the 21st century. Vice Chairman of GlobalOptions' Advisory Board R. James Woolsey, once observed that the modern world is a "jungle full of a bewildering array of dangerous snakes." Woolsey's words are now carved in the wall of the CIA headquarters.
