The Dead Pool - Clint Eastwood movie
DARPA's new betting agency is basically 'the dead pool' from the 70's movie.
When some civilians bet on death in that movie Clint called them 'sickos'.
The inevitable corruption followed and people got killed for the money.

Also, it is reminiscent of 'the running man'.
Has Bush seen too many movies?

1. If you think that is crazy, check out Magnum Force
That's the one about the rouge cops killing killers because they don't feel that the justice system is working.

They corner Harry, and say that they are going to kill the ones that the public knows about, so that they will understand when they take it to the next level.

And then they say:

"You're either with us, or against us."
