a retooling (rearming) of empire -> the deregulation and further integration of intelligence agencies, the normalization and escalation of space-based warfare, and the proliferation and simultaneous containment of regional (ultra-violent) conflict.
i bought the latest issue of soldier of fortune magazine yesterday (as part of a media study around the war) and while i had my prejudices about what a rag that mag is, i still found myself shocked (while reading it on the toilet) by its content. the most alarming article was on the merits of tortue (as a counter-terrorist measure). yikes!
