A sure fire way to make sure you've always got your hooks in, and maintain your status...make yourself a "valued" position.

Make it so that your 'employer' can't do w/out you because of the ineptness and stupidity of the other(s) and those who you do business with.

Case in point:
WikiLeaks: Yemen Nuclear Material Was Unsecured

Quote:
A storage facility housing some radioactive material in Yemen, home to one of the most active branches of al-Qaida, was left unguarded for up to a week, according to a secret U.S. diplomatic cable released by WikiLeaks on Monday.

The message dated Jan. 9 relates the worries of a Yemeni official about the unguarded state of a National Atomic Energy Commission facility. It said the material was not secured for a week after its lone guard was removed and its surveillance camera was broken.
The official, whose name was removed, presses the U.S. Embassy in the Yemeni capital of Sanaa to urge his own government to secure the material.
"Very little now stands between the bad guys and Yemen's nuclear material," the official is quoted as saying in the cable.
Hmmm...now what happened in that quaint little country? Oh, yes...the U.S.S. Cole.
