        H W Bush wasn't just a spook though, he was top brass of the spooks. An ideological and moral stand point for those under him. Pete is a pawn, he was private intelligence contractor who's big bit was fixing bread prices in the first world and running to the third world to avoid criticism as mayor of a small city.

          That's what you know about. He visited Iraq and Afghanistan as part of his work at McKinsey. He joined Naval Intelligence in 2009, so not for rah-rah patriotic reasons and after his stint at McKinsey. And what did he do in Afghanistan with the Navy? "Disrupt terrorist financial networks" with the Afghan Threat Finance Cell, a DEA/FBI/IRS joint-venture created in 2008 to identify people to add to the "kill or capture" list for JSOC. Like a mafia goon who marks other bosses for a hit so his gang can still their turf.
