well, let's see,... how about a drooling, psychotic, borderline-retard President who is shamelessly manipulated by his reptilian vice-presdient who can barely take time away from his white Christian fundamentalist oil cronies (too busy oppressing womyn, minorities and endangered species for profit dontcha know....) to listen to a poor but honest career security academic.
...and how's about if the the President is just too stupid to recognize any threat presented by the gentle yet noble career security expert. and how's about the security expert's desperate attempts to get the President's attention so that his eloquent warnings might'save the children'...
I can see it now...
