The game where characters are assumed to work for the organization that killed JFK because he knew too much, which ran MK Ultra, and which is basically portrayed as the truth behind every militaman's deepest fears

Well, IMHO Con X portrays Aegis in a positive way. The way it's written,
there is a very strong feeling of "Aegis good, Black Book bad" all over
the setting, and the dirty work Aegis agents are supposed to do is
somewhat de-emphasized. There is more 'let's go hunting aliens' stuff
than 'This man knows too much. Kill him' stuff. The morality issue seems
not as important as it is in Delta Green (at least, that's the feeling I
got. I don't own Delta Green, I'm just a DG player)

But I digress... Coming back to UA, I rather like the fact groups aren't
clearly heroic, and conflict happens because groups with opposite goals
collide. One scenario I had the PCs going against TNI, next one I had
them playing Inquisitors without any problem. It's something I miss in
the more one-sided groups, like TOSG.

BTW, I'd like to see a TOSG sourcebook, too. There should be more about
these guys than guns and rants.
