She didn't much like that task force. It reminded her of a book she had
once read about the former United States on Earth, where a man in power in
the government started a wave of hysteria over a form of government called
'communism' and ruined many lives, guilty as well as innocent. This
sounded too much like that 'McCarthyism' for her tastes. "I still have
issues with this task forrrce, M'Rrenn. Like once it gets a taste of
rrreal powerrr, will it stop when it is told to stop? The taint it could
put on anyone, even the innocent, is verrry serrrious." The situation with
Matt was just one example of the power of suggestion.
