I used to work with Eric Egland at IED TF (pre-JIEDDO) and that is one of the sharpest cats I have ever met. Incredibly perceptive about a number of subjects, able to integrate those subjects into wider theoretical and practical solutions, and just a damn fine gentleman to be around. Losing him to the legislative branch is bad juju for us, but if he makes it, you could be seeing the birth of a political career that could radically alter government in the next 10-20 years. Keep your eyes peeled on this one.
Incidentally, Cannonneer, I adore your blog. You and MountainRunner are at the top of my Google Reader everyday. Every time I get angry emails from my family and friends about our tired state of governmental affairs, I send 'em a link to your site and tell 'em to get busy livin', or get busy dyin'.
