If he wasn't referring to the Patriots when Naomi called Snake on the elevator in MGS, then what? Just open ended that it would be "some other group" besides Liquid & company, the United States government? It just seems like Cipher/Patriots were already in his head or else that is where the idea took off from. If the latter is true, then damn he is far better at story development than 99.9% of Hollywood film producers. Naomi was simply referring to the Pentagon/DIA. Thought this was pretty obvious. In retrospect, one could say it was the Patriots by proxy. The idea of shadowy government conspirators was always present in MGS1.
