as we are increasingly an overview of the self-image of the world to oversight bodies, a disturbing picture of self-proclaimed alpha males appear, rather than the modest and professional staff expect and demand. There are many examples of this, and here are three of them.
This week, a new spy satellite with the dull name NROL-39 was sent into orbit by the United States. The satellite logo is remarkable in that no one involved in the project seems to have thought it was a bad idea, but it seems to have been seen as an image which confirmed the self-image of the agency monitoring.
