So then you think it's alright that the Homeland Security Dept is using the former KGB head for consulting? Or you don't believe that that's happening?

If the guy was instrumental in dismantling the Soviet surveilance/police state, that's wonderful. But that's not what's happening in America today. Certainly, you don't believe that the Fed Govt. is working to tear down what they're building?

A free man must be able to endure it when his fellow men act and live otherwise than he considers proper. He must free himself from the habit, just as soon as something does not please him, of calling for the police.

So is there a telephone number that we can call and ask if it's true that they hired this KGB guy? What about the White House press? Would they respond to a question like that from Joe Citizen? Because now that you've brought it up - I'd really like to now if this is true or not!

Um... well, let's see if we can find out who was in on Dick Cheney's Energy Commission first.

I don't believe it's happening.  Prymakov is still part of the Russian government.

Antigen:
Well, that doesn't really exclude his working as a consultant. I really don't know if this story is true or not or if the source is reliable. I do know that he's pretty well respected and trusted for his work on the Contra affair.

Anyway, I hope you're right. I really do. But just because something our government allegedly does is patently insane doesn't mean they're not doing it.
We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it - and stop there;  lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove-lid.  She will never sit down on a hot stove-lid again---and that is well;  but also she will never sit down on a cold one anymore.
