Oh yeah  you got that right-- ask the .gov stealth man who  wants to bid out
a contract to dev a hack which then can be used against another government
Now is that *core values*   ??? Following the money trail will always point

touches everything.

and it gets into the wild - they normally just do it for fun and get their
hands slapped in the bargain.
