Re: U.S. ups tsunami aid from $35 million to $350 million

Over here in Europe --especially in Spain, France and Italy-- there's a psychopathic figure that keeps popping up every summer in the bushy landscapes of Provence, Corsica,... namely, the "pompier pyromane" --the pyromaniac firefighter. It's usually a man in his 20s or 30s who is a compulsive arsonist, yet smart enough to repress/conceal his pathological impulses to set fires --most often in his own environs... Hence his pervert cast of mind prompts him to enroll as a firefighter in the local fire brigade. That way, when summer sets in and mistral squalls blow across Southern France, our pyromaniac firefighter gets his thrill both ways: first when he sets the bush aflame and next when he gets a piece of the action fighting the blaze... together with Canadair flying boats buzzing over on their way to refill or drop their waterload.

Likewise, 911 and its aftermath provided us with the "policier terroriste" character, that is, an intelligence outfit or a cluster of intelligence rogues that are, one way or the other, involved in the current terror wave AND, at the same time, cry wolf and posture as our trustworthy law enforcers.... However, just as with the pyromaniac firefighter, it's a matter of time before they're nailed.
