16. The Good Shepherd

It's a fictionalized history of the CIA. Matt Damon's character, Edward Wilson - a confabulation or analgam of James Jesus Angleton and Ted Shackley's careers as snipped from the public record, pays a visit to Joseph Palmi, a Mafia liaison to the Castro Assassination program, played by Joe Pesci.

Before talking business, the small talk...

Joseph Palmi: "We Italians, we've got our families and the Church. What do your people have, Mr. Wilson?"

Edward Wilson: "We've got the United States of America. The rest of you are just visiting."

And that little scene spelled out precisely the primal importance on Al From and the related "money trumps peace" crowd place on private property and, thus, its bearing on our current, austere, situation. They don't give humanity and all the death and collateral damage they cause a passing thought. And the rich getting richer, from their POV, isn't a problem.
