When I diaried this, it was really going to just be a comment on another thread, but it wound up being a rant.  I know they'll be back.  I'm worried about it, actually.  

Their machine is really amazing...and we've seen a LOT of good people - in government, in the military, as advisors, in agencies - resign because they had a moral center and ethical core.  I am worried that their replacements will be overly powerful, and even if we can get them out, too, it will be like ridding your house of ants or roaches.  But we need to do it anyway...
