[UA] Re: This sonuvabitch has really done it

[Matt Norwood]

Now now, little buddy. I think the president is doing a FINE job with 
this war on I-raq. Best president ever! Also, did I mention what a great 
job the FBI and NSA are doing stopping those terrorists? Those guys are 
great! I think they're doing a wonderful job.

So, this ties in with UA in that I've been pulling little bits of 
government agencies into the UA mix to give it a little bit more of a 
Twin Peaks / X-Files / Grosse Point Blanc / Wag The Dog feel. You know, 
quirky FBI agents who have their own personal grudges running up against 
CIA guys running drugs, all of it being monitored by weird voyeuristic 
NSA mathematicians. Put all this in the background of the usual TNI / 
Sleepers / TOSG conflict and the clued-in/clueless discrepancies can 
generate some great plotlines. One of the ideas I came up with was a 
program whereby certain keywords spoken over a phone line anywhere in 
the country could call down an airstrike or call in a SWAT team, as the 
NSA monitors for them constantly: sort of a non-magical ritual for 
super-high-level government operatives (or rogue agents).

Oh, by the way, I didn't mean to suggest that the CIA would ever have 
anything to do with moving drugs into the country. Those guys are all 
about _stopping_ the bad guys. And they're doing a great job! Okay guys! 
I think you're all doing great! I'm your biggest fan!
