Goes to show that for high-profit everyone is disposable and government is just a tool or stepping stone to reach ones goals. Pretty, pretty scary picture of behind-the-curtains events and how easily do people get discarded because of "inconveniences".
Highly recommended for all thriller enthusiasts.
