Most U.S. citizens are unaware that our government has plenty of dirty secrets, and for many, this ignorance is bliss.
Not for geographer and journalist Trevor Paglen. For nearly a decade he has tracked a host of clandestine government and military agencies and "black" sites that remain hidden from public view and knowledge — and often from the budgetary decisionmakers within Congress.
"Each year," the author writes, "the United States spends more than $50 billion to fund a secret world of classified military and intelligence activities, a world of secret airplanes and unacknowledged spacecraft, 'black' military units and covert prisons, a secret geography that military and intelligence insiders call the 'black world.'

I just found another article from the St Pete Times, which this link of your's took me too.
It's about the area nursing homes, the 65 year old Mom who died, and the daughter...of which readers are delighting to beat upon.
I wrote a comment in there, and it said it will be published within 24 hours.
Not nice to beat up on the surviving daughter who live in New York, and could'nt be here to visit all the time.
I'm glad I have a "living will" with thankfully somebody as my power of attorney!
