I'm not sure how to follow this. I'm also unsure of the connection between extraordinary rendition/unauthorized surveillance and promotion of democratic values.
Maybe i should ask some questions in order to answer your own. How far does suffrage for women and minorities affect the political landscape? To what extent has corporate activity affected government, through party donations, lobby groups and interchange of personel? What relevence does Dwight D. Eisenhower's retiring speech on the "military-industrial complex" have in the modern era? How accountable are Private Military Companies? Who funds and trains terrorists and, in turn, who funds and trains them? How does the dynamic of 'escalation' affect domestic law enforcement and where does it end? Where are the virtuous in society and are they in, or gain, a position to do something about the non-virtuous? How efficient is the Gross Domestic Product at measuring the health of a society, or, better yet, its content of virtue?
That'll do for now i guess. Just stuff to think about :)
