Can you say "Edward Snowden", hired by a private contractor to work on top secret surveillance programs?

Can you say "Blackwater" or "CACI", hired by the government to perform certain functions of the military in a combat zone?

Can you say "Halliburton"? "KBR"?

Here's a question for those who think government should run like a business, John;

When a business decides someone has become a burden, they claim they must rid themselves of such people. However, those people survive and go on.

What historically happens when governments decide certain people within their borders are a burden?

There are potentially tragic aspects to running a country like a business.

I believe Mussolini had a name for it.

We can't let our government get in the habit of ridding themselves of people they find burdensome.
