Serious Fraud
What do you get when the Saudi government gets caught blackmailing the British government and turns to the former head of the FBI for help? A spot on FRONTLINE.
Tuesday's FRONTLINE special "Black Money" about corruption in the arms industry explains more about why wars are invented than any government propaganda or NGO report. The theatre of war is an expensive and profitable production; justice and the rule of law rarely enter into it.
To slay this monster, we don't need a department of peace, we need an American equivalent of Britain's Serious Fraud Office.
