Spying's Weakest Link
(Booze Allen Hamilton?)

It's one thing to be spied on by the United States Government.
We know they intend to be protecting us.
But by a loose-knit and overpaid group of private consultants
Booze Allen hired off the street to bill at cost plus?

And to judge by their history, sometimes much more,
Billing what they can get away with until they're shown the door?

Is that who we want to have listening in
To learn which members of Congress are living in sin?

Does who protests the loudest have the guiltiest conscience?
Is that how we first learn who has the most to hide?
How sad to have to rely on Booze Allen's bozos
And their whistle blowers who're perhaps the least qualified.

Auntie Em sharing recipes is an invasion of privacy
But is not likely to impact the nation's security.
But Booze Allen whistle blowers turning each other in?
Where's corruption end and protection begin?
