First step...."sanitize" Elphapa's "guerilla op-ed" link....above.
This is the link to the original NBC news report that she posted above:

Secondly....our government is in the late stages of being entirely controlled by folks who won't tolerate news reports similar to the following ones, much longer, so they should be consolidated and posted while it is still possible to do so, especially on political forums. After as brief a period as seven days, some of these reports will be archived and no longer available for "fair use" retrieval.
This describes what seems to be happening, better than I am able to:

<b>Surprise! Big Brother is a Republican Lobbyist!</b>
The Defense Department document is the first inside look at how the U.S. military has stepped up intelligence collection inside this country since 9/11, which now includes the monitoring of peaceful anti-war and counter-military recruitment groups.
But it isn't military, or other government employees doing the spying, Laura Rozen points out – it's Republican 'defense contractors'!
Mitchell Wade's MZM (that would be co-conspirator 2 in the Cunningham case to you and me) is one of the lead companies with a contract for the Pentagon domestic surveillance program, Counter Intelligence Field Activity (CIFA), as Walter Pincus first reported.
And here's Pincus:......

Pentagon Expanding Its Domestic Surveillance Activity
Fears of Post-9/11 Terrorism Spur Proposals for New Powers

....Perhaps the prime illustration of the Pentagon's intelligence growth is CIFA, which remains one of its least publicized intelligence agencies. Neither the size of its staff, said to be more than 1,000, nor its budget is public, said Conway, the Pentagon spokesman. The CIFA brochure says the agency's mission is to "transform" the way counterintelligence is done "fully utilizing 21st century tools and resources."
One CIFA activity, threat assessments, involves using "leading edge information technologies and data harvesting," according to a February 2004 Pentagon budget document. This involves "exploiting commercial data" with the help of outside contractors including White Oak Technologies Inc. of Silver Spring, and <B>MZM Inc.,</B> a Washington-based research organization, according to the Pentagon document.
So we have Republican lobbyists/'defense contractors' who bribe congressmen to give them secret, no- oversight contracts to spy on ordinary American peace groups. And where does this unholy road lead us to? With Brent Wilkes and ADCS [co-conspirator 1 in the Cunningham case] right back to Tom DeLay................

<B>CIFA subcontractor MZM Inc., is owned by Mitchell Wade,
the primary figure who Randy Cunningham plead guilty to taking bribes from, in exchange for arranging DOD contracts.
