The Bush campaign employs a paramilitary security organization?
WOW.

One might want to read up on the following: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2004/3/19/22135/3823

What, the Secret Service doesn't offer enough protection for them?

2. This is really unbelievable
As if the official riot goons aren't enough.

Here's some of their services:

·Client choice of uniform style ranging from discreet, non-threatening attire to full riot gear
·Full-time executive protection agents and investigators
·Evidence technicians and coordinators to cross-index photos and videotape
·35mm and video equipment; long-range and night vision lenses available
·Pre- and post-incident counseling by forensic psychologist

That last one cracks me up. After the dictator is harassed by hoardes of protesters, he goes in for a 'They really love me' session with a psychologist.

3. Every Capo needs his button men...
Every Caesar has a Praetorian guard loyal only to him.

Hmm...If the FBI went to arrest Mr. Bush someday, I wonder if his private security would protect him?
