subject?
thought you two were file-closed.
sorry. thought you knew i knew.
all right. so who stands to gain if jordan flames out in a big way?
congress cuts, military bleeds. but pentagon's a big place. let's narrow the sights.
sabotage born of economics? wouldn't be a first. but is hayes really going to start his watch with such a public failure?
hmm. let's aim higher.
the white house. if jordan wins, dehaven wins in spades. why? well, it's been said that the only man the president fears -- ain't no man.
don't for a second think she didn't leak this story. "g.i. jane" gives dehaven a symbol that taps into the biggest constituency of them all.
if you were the president, wouldn't that put a little piss in your shoes?
this ain't about some little soldier girl sloggin' her way through commando school. the implications go way beyond.
i take it this file is still open.
okay, so now work it from the other end. think about california -- and how things might be handled there.
this is what you get for brain- picking an old cia spook. but if i needed to control the outcome of this test case, that's how i'd do it. a man-in-place. makes everything very controllable.
