I think that's more feasible. Second, the Pentagon already has a network on all the television delivery services, it's called Fox News.

The administration is placing more and more of our intelligence gathering and, more importantly, covert actions in the hands of the DOD and thus beyond scrutiny by the Congressional committees charged with oversight? And the congress has gone supine enough to swallow this power grab. Sure reminds me of Rome after Julius Caesar when the Senate became a rubber stamp. I hate to think that I have lived long enough to be witness to the demise of the American republic. What is even more disheartening is the evident apathy or even concurrence by the American public in this devolution of our Constitution. Ah hell, maybe I'm just a cranky old fart. But this sure doesn't look like the America I grew up in. Regards. Danny: What the hell is going on in this country?
