Last night, we learned a bit more about the new mystery and what the heck Jon Voight's character is doing.

Apparently, all this drama has been initiated by Starckwood, a private military company that Senator Mayer had been investigating because, he said, it was rogue, a bit out of control, and the reason the country shouldn't be farming out military work.

Senator Mayer = Rep. Waxman?
