A Mercenary-Run Election?

Wired has a scary story today:

CIA-linked private military contractor Evergreen Defense & Security Services offered to post sentries at Oregon election offices on Tuesday, "detaining troublemakers" and making sure voters "do not get out of control." 

Update: More on Evergreen:

Evergreen Defense & Security Services is affiliated with Del Smith’s McMinnville-based cargo airline company. It exudes the gung-ho patriotism that is associated with the company founder, a political conservative who enjoys close ties with the federal government and military.

The company’s vision, according to its website, is “to help ensure the God-given right of peace, freedom and democracy to all people.”
