Of these programs that are working with us. but you have to ask yourself, whenever these leaks take place, who benefits? who benefits from it? and when you look at the book that they are excerpted from, they all go serve to make the president a steadfast, steely-eyed, sitting in the oval office deciding who lives and who dies with this kill list. you have to ask yourself that question. then, in the book, its very clear that -- and the author says that some of the people that gave him information...
