Oversight Hearing

Closed committee. The executive wants to arm a 'moderate' militia through cutouts. The history that rhymes is Cyclone, not a novel. Vote, then live with the remainder.

• The finding's language is honest about the militia's factions.
• Proportionality: slower overt aid was considered and rejected for reasons other than impatience.
• There is a duty — written — to extract interpreters and sources if the policy turns.
• Blowback in twenty years is budgeted as a strategic cost, not a comms problem.
• Deniability is sized to the thing: a war will not hide in a suitcase.
