Anyone see a connection to "Project Blackbriar" from The "Jason Bourne" movies?

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The CIA in 2004 hired contractors from the private security firm Blackwater USA as part of a secret program to track and assassinate senior al Qaeda figures, the New York Times reported on Wednesday.

The House of Representatives Intelligence Committee is investigating why lawmakers were never informed about the program, the report said.

By Kgw.com and AP Staff PORTLAND, Ore. -- Gov. Ted Kulongoski signed into law Tuesday a bill that expands state health care access to nearly every child in Oregon.
Kulongoski called the legislation historic.
"We will at long last bring health care to every Oregon child," he said at a signing ceremony at Doernbecher Children's Hospital. "Oregonians cannot afford for us to stand by and wait and do nothing."
The bill expands state coverage to an additional 80,000 uninsured children and 35,000 low-income adults. To pay for the expansion, the state is relying on a combination of taxes on hospitals and insurers.
The expansion is by far the biggest in the nation during these economic times
