Cabal Of One
Yes, back to the subject at hand.
This is just opinion on my part but I don't think there's anything particularly sinister about Marty's actions;
He simply doesn't trust us folk Downunder when it comes to doing what he feels has to be done. He probably considers The Aussies to be "loose cannons" in a fight where he has, what he considers to be, a winning strategy.
He has his ideas about what needs to be done and is carrying forward with that strategy. Most of The Aussies have VERY different ideas about what needs to be done and don't/won't play along with Marty.
Anyone who ever spent any time at Int or in Senior Management positions knows that, in the CofS Management mindset, there was always an ingrained distrust of the Aussies Downunder. The attitude seemed to be, "all the good ones are already uplines!".
At the time of saying what he did about The Aussies and Senator Xenophon, Marty may well have still had this attitude to some degree.
Does he still have this attitude now? More importantly, even if he does, why should we care?
