Predicting Terrorist Attacks
http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2008/02/predicting-terr/
By Sharon Weinberger  February 11, 2008  |  9:50 am

An increasing number of contracts are being given out by the Pentagon with the seemingly Quixotic goal of predicting human behavior. For example, there’s the Integrated Crises Early Warning System, which looks at modeling potential political instability. But what about predicting terrorist events?  A team led by the University of Alabama in Huntsville is looking at using computer models to forecast future attacks. Researchers at the university are working with a private company on a six month Air Force contract.

"One way to combat these attacks is to identify trends in the attackers’ methods, then use those trends to predict their future actions," said UAHuntsville researcher Wes Colley said. "Some trends from these attacks show important day-to-day correlations. If we can draw inferences from those correlations, then we may be able to save lives by heightening awareness of possible events or changing the allocation of our security assets to provide more protection."

There are at least two main barriers to this sort of research. First, you need data, or more precisely, accurate data, otherwise it’s "garbage in, garbage out." And second, you need models that work. This is how the researchers are approaching the problem:


A
four-step process was used in this research, according to Colley.
Researchers reviewed the behavior signatures of terrorists on 12,000
attacks between 2003 and mid-2007 to calculate relative probabilities of future attacks on various target types.

The four steps were: create a database of past attacks; identify trends in the attacks; determine the correlation between attacks and use analysis to calculate the probabilities of future attacks and their location.

The goal was not to try to predict exactly when and what type of attack was going to happen next, but rather, which target types were more likely to be attacked next, according to Colley. “Our research won’t predict that an attack targeting civilians at a public market will take place tomorrow at 9:30 a.m.”

The purpose of the models, the researchers reasonably argue, it to provide commanders in the field with information that could be used for planning. So, it’s not a crystal ball. The hope is that even general models, if accurate, would be useful. The question is, how useful?
Human behavior is subject to hundreds of variables.

A job that Ptech/AI software can handle perfectly, just as it was used on 9/11 by MITRE and SAIC, it will be used against the entire global population.  The perfect new eugenics/genocide tool of the 21st century.

Can Computer Models Help to Quell Insurgent-Drive Strife and Instability?

Two scientists who have been using computers to help assess the behavior of insurgent groups told a AAAS-organized seminar that, despite their limitations, quantitative methods could play an important role in helping military commanders and political leaders make more informed decisions.

While acknowledging that computer models are still in their infancy and can provide only hints of possible outcomes during the often chaotic conditions in combat zones, the specialists said the Pentagon has considerable interest in the use of cross-cultural research to help combat insurgencies.

V.S. Subrahmanian, co-director of the University of Maryland's Laboratory for Computational Cultural Dynamics, described how computers can be programmed to automatically and quickly extract relevant data from thousands of news reports on a topic and offer a probability estimate that a particular action might happen. He spoke at a 14 June Capitol Hill seminar organized by AAAS's Center for Science, Technology and Security Policy.

Subrahmanian's team has looked, for example, at reports of suicide attacks by the militant Hezbollah group, based in Lebanon. Preliminary results by the researchers suggest that when the group is engaged in education and propaganda activities in a major way, there's a 46-47% probability it will carry out suicide attacks. When it is not engaged in such activities, the probability of an attack rises to about 80%.

Subrahmanian's team also did an automated analysis of 1555 recent stories in the Afghan media to assess the perceived strength or weakness of Afghan President Hamid Karzai on a scale of minus 1 to plus 1. The analysis, which searched for phrases containing both opinions and statements of fact that can influence opinions, showed Karzai's overall rating was mildly positive for most news sources.

The intensity of opinions can influence how a group might act during times of stress and conflict, Subrahmanian said. Behavioral scientists would like to find ways to accurately predict how a group might respond, he said, and do so in a matter of hours or days rather than weeks or months.

"You would like to find the pressure points where you can exert influence to change behavior," said Alexander Levis, an engineering professor at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va., and former chief scientist for the U.S. Air Force.

The Pentagon, primarily through the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, has been funding research by Subrahmanian, Levis and others in an effort to better understand the potential cultural, religious and social impact of military actions in combat zones. The Pentagon is proposing to spend more than $120 million over six years on social science modeling projects. The goal is to provide a new suite of tools that analysts can use to help assess the emergence of insurgent groups, how they interact with the local population and how they might respond to military or economic interventions. Such models would go beyond the purely military objectives that are at the heart of computerized war games.

Levis said his current work has been funded by both the Air Force Office of Scientific Research and the Office of Naval Research. His open-source academic research builds on similar studies pursued during the past 10 to 15 years by the intelligence community, he said.

The key, according to Levis, is to find ways to fuse the insights from different quantitative models, drawing on the strengths of each. "We need to make sure that the tools play together when used properly," he said. But he stressed that none of the tools will allow analysts to make firm predictions.

"We're not predicting outcomes," Levis said. "We do comparisons of the effectiveness of alternatives."

INSERT:  Traitor, engineer of the technology to execute 9/11, is lying in the above portions highlighted in brown above, as will be shown elsewhere.

In one project, Levis and his colleagues developed a computer model that offered U.S. forces in Iraq options for securing two old silk roads in the Diyala province that been attacked by insurgents using improvised explosive devices, or IEDs. The roads, one controlled by the Kurds and the other controlled by Sunni and Shia groups, had long been routes for both legitimate trade and for smuggling of drugs and other covert goods.

When IEDs began to be used along the Sunni-Shia route, the movement of covert goods shifted to the north along the Kurdish-controlled route, Levis said. Suppressing the attacks on one of the routes led to increased attacks on the other, he said.

Rather than deploying additional U.S. forces to help control the IED incidents, the computer model suggested that U.S. commanders should turn over security along the roads to Iraqi forces and allow them to ignore the smuggling of goods along the routes.

"We wanted to maintain the economic activity on the two routes," Levis said.

The preferred option also included educational efforts among the local populace to reduce support for the insurgency, the re-establishment of services, and external financial support to help improve the local economy. The model projected that all of the actions, taken together, would take at least six months of concerted effort to significantly reduce the number of IEDs. It projected that support for the insurgency would decline below 50 percent after about 21 months.

"I have absolutely no clue whether it would take 21 months or not," Levis said. But the model does tell an analyst that the recommended actions would take "not one or two months [but] a whole bunch of months," he said.

Such information can be useful to an analyst who is offering options for policy makers. But Levis cautioned that the numbers must be used appropriately. "This is not a view graph to be shown to the commander," he said, as a guide for planning troop withdrawals after 21 months.

Some of the computer tools have been given to defense and intelligence agencies for testing and user feedback. And some data has been provided to field commanders. Subrahmanian said his team "shipped a bunch of information on several tribes in the Pakistan-Afghanistan borderlands" to the U.S. Army's 10th Mountain Division before it deployed to Afghanistan in 2006. "So we have valuable results as well as much work to be done," he said.

One long-term goal of Subrahmanian's research is to develop a three-dimensional "virtual experience environment," a cultural and behavioral analogue of a computer war game, where U.S. decision-makers could decide how best to play out the actions of multiple groups in a region. The virtual environment would resemble the real landscape of the region being modeled, with characters behaving according to rules of behavior drawn from relevant and timely data collected by the researchers.

The modelers are just starting to grapple with the complexities of such a virtual environment, Subrahmanian said. They can do visual reconstructions of the landscapes, but they have little real-world content and few real-time news and information feeds. Among the key challenges, he said, is extracting useful knowledge from perhaps a thousand times more data than the team has been using.

While some former military officials have been skeptical of the computer-modeling work, Subrahmanian noted that "we're not the only ones building these immersive experiences." Even Hezbollah has a war-fighting video game that it sells to potential recruits, he said.

SECURITY
Network Would Link Municipal Law Officials With Federal Intelligence Information

By RALPH BLUMENTHAL

The former F.B.I. official heading New York State's antiterrorism campaign said yesterday that the state's 80,000 municipal law enforcement officers would be tied into a new network providing intelligence information intended to prevent new terrorist attacks.

The official, James K. Kallstrom, said he spoke to a group of 300 police chiefs and officers in Albany this week, telling them, "We are going to get all of you back into the business of counterterrorism." He called the local forces "our front line of defense."

In an interview in his office at 633 Third Avenue in Manhattan, Mr. Kallstrom, former director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's New York office and now Gov. George E. Pataki's director of public safety, said the effort was intended in part to keep better track of foreigners who are considered potential security risks after years of letting them into the country with few controls.

"If some night police on the Taconic Parkway stop someone who's an illegal alien who doesn't have proper documentation, we need a better system of contacts and follow-up," he said. He declined to describe the network in any detail, saying only that it would be some kind of computer link.

"We are communicating with every cop on the street and every sheriff on the street with relevant real- time information all the way from Washington and down to the cops and back again," he said. "We want to make their vision even more peripheral and piercing."

College security officials should also be mobilized to look out for foreign students who obtain visas for study in the United States but disappear before ever registering, Mr. Kallstrom said.

To assist him in his duties, he said, he lured out of retirement a former chief of the New York Police Department, Louis R. Anemone, to be his deputy, and was planning a staff of 25 to 30. Among those who have volunteered their services, he said, are a former official of the Central Intelligence Agency and a businessman with expertise in biological threats.

"I want to have people of many different mind-sets in the room," Mr. Kallstrom said.

He said he was setting up a number of "brain trusts" of experts in health, science and engineering. "Shame on us if we don't take advantage of biometrics and our ability to positively identify someone," he said, referring to the science of identifying people through their individual characteristics, like fingerprints or retinal patterns.

He said he was also working closely with a special state subcommittee on terrorism formed by State Senator Roy M. Goodman, the Manhattan Republican and chairman of the Senate Investigations Committee.

In three weekly closed-door meetings so far, including one on Wednesday with Mr. Kallstrom, that panel, which includes four former New York police commissioners and several former federal agents, identified persistent vulnerabilities in aviation, rail and waterway systems; emergency medical care; and other areas, and offered a variety of remedies, some drawn from the war against organized crime.

Panel members said they called for installing chemical and biological sensors in airports, rail stations and tunnels; arming pilots in the cockpit; and getting the Federal Aviation Administration and private contractors out of the airline security business.

The group reviewed about 2,000 possible targets, a list compiled for the millennium celebrations[/color], said Raymond W. Kelly, a former New York police commissioner and United States customs commissioner.

Robert J. McGuire, another former police commissioner, said that if the country was truly at war, the authorities should be viewing terrorist suspects more as potential prisoners of war to be interrogated than as criminals to be prosecuted. Mr. Kallstrom said he would not comment on Mr. McGuire's position.

Henry I. DeGeneste, a former superintendent of the Port Authority police in charge of the New York area's airports, said food service employees and other staff members still had too much unsupervised access to secure areas, and he called for passenger and employee screenings to be taken over by federal officers.

One medical specialist who addressed the panel, Dr. Irwin Redlener, president of the Children's Hospital at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx, told the group that the emergency health care system was not paying enough attention to the needs of children, who are particularly vulnerable to chemical and biological agents.

Mr. Kallstrom said, "There may be bumps in the road," but vowed an unrelenting engagement. "We're obsessed with this, not having something happen," he said.

You’ve understood the reality of the past...and of the present.
Now for the future.
A question:
"How does one man assert power over another?"
By making him suffer.
Exactly. Obedience is not enough.
Power is inflicting pain and humiliation. Otherwise, you cannot be sure.
Power is tearing human minds apart...
and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing.
Power is not a means, it is an end.
In our world, there will only be triumph and self-abasement.
Everything else, we shall destroy.

- Orwell (1984)

oh, quick question on how Ptech does it's 'realtime analysis' thing ... and I know this relates to the SIX VIRTUAL FUTURES post that was going around before, that I blog'd about here:

New World Order Drivers for Alternative Futures.
http://mikephilbin.blogspot.com/2009/09/new-world-order-drivers-for-alternative.html

does Ptech's realtime aspect generate several virtual-versions of 'what it thinks' the database will show at the next iteration before it applies the new data to it?

do you understand what I mean? is it updating its appreciation of its own data? triple pathing the micro-future so it can appear to 'realtime' data analyse? and by this I mean, is Promis/Ptech's prime OOD function to 'percentage out the numbers' in advance so that it 'probabilistically' knows what sort of data is to come?

Predictive realtime?

[Anti_Illuminati]

Let's take a close look at SAIC, who was directly involved in engineering the 9/11 false flag, and superceded NORAD on 9/11.

SAIC- power structure 9/11 and more...


Finally forget the myth about the Pentagon and the White House.
The United States is run by defense contractors like Raytheon, Boeing and TRW.

Still ignored by many 'truthseekers' yet however is SAIC, who seems to be in charge of the most significant power hubs U.S. and worldwide.

The real question is, who runs SAIC?

Some notes:

SAIC and its subsidiaries, including Telcordia Technologies, have more than 41,000 employees at offices in more than 150 cities worldwide.

SAIC directors included:
U.S. Navy Admiral B.R. Inman (ret.); U.S. Army General W.A. Downing (who was one of the biggest orchestrators of pushing Iraq WMD fake evidence); and U.S. Air Force General J.A. Welch (ret.).

SAIC received 136 payments during 2001 by the DoD
...which made them shooting star into the Top 20 contracts during same year.
Most of these major contracts were received BEFORE 9/11, which was unusual at that time.

SAIC bought Internic/Network Solutions in March 1995
who is in charge of most important domain registrations....


SAIC is strongly connected with cities linked to the alleged suspects of the official 9/11 plotline:
http://www.soci.niu.edu/~crypt/other/saic.htm
"...SAIC has countless offices worldwide and large installations in San Diego; McLean, VA, and Ft. Meade, Maryland...."

Needless to say, that makes them also an intelligence contractor in these areas:

http://www.saic.com/news/dec02/news12-19-02.html
"...They include ACS Defense, Inc., located in San Diego, Calif.; ARINC, Inc., located in San Diego, Calif.; DCS Corporation, located in Alexandria, Va.; Dragon Research and Engineering, Inc., located in San Diego, Calif.; Gnostech Inc., located in Warminster, Pa.; Haggerty Communications Group, located in La Mesa, Calif.; iBASEt, located in San Diego, Calif.; Indus Technologies, Inc., located in San Diego, Calif.; Integrated Consultants, located in Coronado, Calif.; and NAVSYS Corporation, located in Colorado Springs, Colo..."

SAIC's board members include Admiral Bobby Inman, former NSA head and deputy director of the CIA; Melvin Laird, Nixon's defense secretary; and retired General Max Thurman, commander of the Panama Invasion. Departed board members include Robert Gates, former CIA director; William Perry, former Secretary of Defense; and John Deutch, former CIA director...."

SAIC is the company where anthrax suspect Stephen Hatfill worked in 1999, together with Jerome Hauer (ex-OEM), who organised the Security Job for ex-FBI John O'Neill, who died in the towers on Sep11th. Hauer and Hatfill both held a meeting at the CFR in 1998 on the same day, about 'forthcoming bio terror'.

Among SAIC's other interesting former employees:

Arnold L. Punaro ('Gordian World Conference' March 2001.
Punaro was formerly working under Senator Sam Nunn, part of the June 2001 bio terror drill "Dark Winter". The Gordian Conference was the military mind set pendant to PNAC's "pearl harbour" agenda). SAIC was also former company of weapon inspector David Kay.

SAIC supports the navy and air defenses of Saudi Arabia
(C4 systems for the Royal Saudi Naval Forces program).

http://www.saic.com/news/2004/nov/17.html
"...awarded two task order contracts by the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center (SPAWARCEN) to provide the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Royal Saudi Naval Forces (RSNF) Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence (C4I) scientific
engineering, analytical and technical systems support services..."



Satellite Monitor Systems, developed by SAIC (and also Raytheon), are able to monitor every significant movement of uranium. A possible (false-flag) terror attack on the U.S., with the help of so called nuke suitcases is therefore impossible without a cover-up of the Pentagon.

"...eWing runs over military networks and uses XML and Web services technology to integrate the administrative and scheduling needs of combat air wings with Air Force legacy systems....
...The eWing project started 4 years ago as a collaboration between SAIC and the Air Force under a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) at ESC..."

SAIC linked to Cheney and Carlyle

SAIC�s former CEO is Admiral Bill Owens. Owens served as a military aide to Dick Cheney and former Defense Secretary Frank Carlucci (formerly head of Carlyle).
Robert Gates, former CIA Director and close friend of the Bush family, also served on the SAIC Board.

SAIC is multiple contractor of Cancer- and AIDS research

-SAIC raided by military investigators in 1994
-SAIC has been charged with falsifying results of test hazardous samples
-SAIC has linked up with the Encino, California-based Pinkerton's detective agency



SAIC is also strongly involved in biopharmacy and vaccinations business, including partnerships with Bristol Myers Squibb (BMS).

SAIC's 2005 annual report
http://www.saic.com/news/pdf/Annual-Report2005.pdf
______________________________________________________________________________
By Bruce V. Bigelow
UNION-TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER

November 11, 2005

New York Gov. George Pataki's office said yesterday that San Diego's SAIC has been hired to help authorities create a master security plan for the World Trade Center site while it is being rebuilt.

The amount of the contract was under negotiation.

The comprehensive planning effort will coordinate all aspects of security for redevelopment of the World Trade Center site, from security design through construction, occupancy and operations.

A statement from the governor's office cited SAIC's expertise as a security consultant, and noted the company's work at the 2002 Olympic Winter Games at Salt Lake City and the 2004 Summer Games in Athens.

The company, also known as Science Applications International Corp., still has outstanding disagreements, however, with the Greek government over its security work in Athens.

The Greek government contracted with SAIC in early 2003 to lead a consortium of international companies in adapting a military C4I system to provide "total information awareness" to Greece's security officials. C4I is an acronym for Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence.

The plans called for mounting infrared and high-resolution security cameras on 1,250 concrete columns around the Greek capital. The contract also called for surveillance equipment on 12 patrol boats, 4,000 vehicles, three helicopters and a blimp.

SAIC also provided extensive training before turning over the system to Greek security officials.

The company disclosed in a regulatory filing this week that the Greeks still have not formally accepted the system that SAIC delivered in Athens, and Greece still is withholding certain milestone payments.

"We have been in discussions with the customer and our principal subcontractor to attempt to resolve these issues through appropriate contract and subcontract modifications," SAIC said. "However, no agreement has been reached to date."

SAIC's contract for Greece's security infrastructure was estimated at $312 million after it was awarded in 2003. It was said to represent nearly a quarter of the overall security costs for the Summer Games.

But SAIC spokesman Jared Adams said yesterday the contract was for $191 million. He said the Greek government has paid $143 million, leaving almost $49 million in dispute.

SAIC wrote off $15 million on the contract nearly a year ago. The project was plagued by a number of delays and modifications, a top executive said at the time.

In New York, construction began in September on the first major project at the World Trade Center, a $2 billion transit hub.

Groundbreakings are planned for early next year for the 1,776-foot-tall Freedom Tower and the trade center's memorial. More office towers, a performing arts center, a museum and a cultural building also are planned.

Jim Kallstrom, Pataki's senior counter-terrorism adviser, said SAIC will serve as a security consultant to a team that includes the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, New York's police and fire commissioners as well as other city and state agencies.

"The degree of security planning that will result from this partnership will establish new security standards for sites where public spaces, commercial and retail properties, and mass-transit infrastructure are co-located," Kallstrom said.

Spreading the Word
Sound & Video Contractor, Jan 1, 2005

... much of the church's production and postproduction gear was damaged because of the dust that filled the facility when the towers collapsed. The church staff decided to purchase new equipment and upgrade its rooms to allow them to handle the increased workflow and changed the focus of their work. That posed no insignificant challenge.

The department, active for almost 30 years, was originally founded to provide content (primarily church services) for local cable access channels. Eventually, it grew to become the
foundation for the Hallmark Channel, providing a variety of content for cable, satellite distribution, and eventually the Internet. In addition to the services the department continued to broadcast, it developed other content, including documentaries and interviews.

The church also hired Barry Glasser, who had been working at the Freedom Forum and had, prior to that, built two other organizations: Court TV and Reuters Financial Television.

"Barry is a perfect person for us to have," Medley says. "When we set about rebuilding the organization, and looked at ways to make it more streamlined, we had a three-camera digital studio, a separate edit room, some Beta machines, and [some] DVCPRO [gear]. We embarked on a path to integrate all of these assets into a single, cohesive system."

The Trinity Church Television & New Media production facility has grown considerably in the last several years. The department has made a commitment to nonlinear editing, and it currently counts among its gear an Avid Symphony, Final Cut Pro 4, a pair of Avid Xpress DV workstations, and a Sony BVE-2000 linear editing system.

Ultimately, it went from a single digital control room with a lone Ross switcher to a pair of digital control rooms. The team focused on how it could gather assets from its various sources and collect them in a single location, thereby allowing them to move the elements digitally. The church purchased an Omneon Spectrum Media Server, which Medley considers a worthy addition to the suite of rooms.

Control Room A has a Ross Synergy2, with two mix effects busses, built-in DVE (digital video effects), and Ultimatte. The board takes in 32 channels of video data, layered on a pair of buss lines that have 16 inputs. The Synergy 2 is primarily dedicated to controlling the production facility's three-camera (Sony BVP E10) digital studio.

Studio A, connected to the rest of the facility via a Leitch digital router, also has an ETC digital board (which can store scene settings on the board and save shows to disk) and a number of different tape decks. "We've got a pair of Sony [Digital Betacams]," says Medley, "a Sony DVCAM, three standard Beta SP analog decks, and our latest acquisition: the Pioneer digital
DVD recorder, PRV-LX1. The Pioneer deck lets you author DVD content in a separate hardware device instead of software, and that brings two advantages.

One, there's a lower learning curve; and two, the platform is stable. The PRV-LX1 has two DVD drives and a 120GB hard drive, and it can input graphics. We also use [a] Panasonic DVCPRO [camera and four decks], the first digital format that we went with. In essence we're a full-service facility and can operate on almost any tape format, including 1in."

Trinity Church Television & New Media also has a fiber link connection to Waterfront (now known as Ascent Media), a Manhattan-based fiber port. Medley considers the link extremely important for programming. Instead of having crews in the church itself, the staff simply
sends a feed to the fiber port, where other clients - Reuters, BBC, and local television stations, for example - can pick it up.

The church also has a second control room primarily used for webcasting. Both control rooms are connected with the Trinity Church (a separate building across the street) by internal Telecast fiber networks and separate triax networks. The staff can control the studio cameras from Control Room 2 as well.

The room has a smaller Ross Synergy 100 digital switcher with 16 inputs on two busses. The switcher's main purpose is to stream Sunday services and other events conducted at Trinity Church. Control Room 2 is also used to control four Sony DXC-990 three-chip color cameras with Fujinon robotics and teleconferencing lenses. There is also a Mackie 32x8x2 analog mixing
console that receives house audio and 12 independent channels of ambient audio. Switcher output runs to a Pinnacle StreamFactory 2 and then to the streaming provider, Speedera. The staff uses this control room to stream the 11:15 a.m. Sunday service, which is streamed live and then archived on the Web. These services are available on demand at www.trinity
wallstreet.org.

Medley and his staff rely heavily on robotics for the broadcasts of their services. Utilizing a combination of four Sony DXC-990 cameras and Fujinon teleconferencing lenses in place of a live crew, a single staff member serving as a cross between a director and technical director decides which camera will be online at any given moment. If necessary, the department can transport the six additional cameras they own to the church and integrate them into a production.

"We're in a different building, separated from the church by a pedestrian bridge," says Medley.
"We have a Fujinon control panel that lets us control all of our cameras. The only production crew we have is in our streaming control room, and we maintain separate control for webcasting and broadcasting. We can actually run two separate events at one time if we
need to."

As a matter of course the church avoids IMAG during services. Forums and conferences do require plasma screens on occasion, which are rented on an as-needed basis. "We treat the services as a service and don't add any production value to them or the concerts we
broadcast," says Medley. "We do add production value to our documentaries, particularly on the opens and closes.

As involved as Trinity Church had been in the social life of the community it serves, the shattering impact of 9/11 mandated a renewed, altered sense of purpose for everyone, including the staff at Trinity Church Television and New Media. Sensing a new opportunity to
help in the healing process that lower Manhattan needed, Bert Medley, director of the department, with the church administration's support, set out to expand and revitalize the media production center to accommodate an increase in news and documentary programming. A special emphasis was put on using the Internet to make video and audio copies of sermons and other events available to those who could not attend in person.

(Photo: Bert Medley, Trinity’s control room )

Medley spent 35 years in the production department at NBC. A member of the Vestry — the board of directors at Trinity Church Wall Street — Medley retired from NBC following 9/11, accepted his current position, and set out to change the business model of the production department.

Dean Wiltshire, streaming technician, and Lenny Manchess, audio engineer, at work on a Sunday morning service at New York City’s Trinity Church.

“My background was in news and documentaries,” he says. “After the attack it was clear that we needed to respond to the needs of the community and develop content that centered around 9/11.”

"...it would be nice if the new head of the NSA knew the constitution that he has sworn to uphold. Unfortunately, not only doesn’t he know it, he believes fervently that he does know it. Sure, as with the case below, you can make an argument that he has his own spin on the spirit of the 4th, but the fact remains, he doesn’t know the letter.

June 07, 2006

"...I did a little research. Here's an excerpt from his bio:

"Mr. Vein served as Chief Administrative Officer and Deputy Director of DTIS. Prior to his employment in San Francisco, Mr. Vein was AVP and General Manager, Western Operations of a consulting organization at Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC). Mr. Vein began his career in Washington, D.C. serving the Clinton, Bush and Regan Administrations as Director of Administrative and Financial Services of the White House, a high ranking non-political appointment in the Executive Office of the President."

Doesn't say much, but reveals a lot at the same time. Now, Chris Vein has been hanging around City Hall since at least 2001 as Chief Administrative Officer (CAO), a member of the Executive Management team of the DTIS.

But "prior to his employment" is what I find interesting -- consulting at SAIC. Don't you wonder *when* he left? Now SAIC is an interesting company to have hailed from. For instance, 2005 was a really good year: they made more money than ever and "received the Frost & Sullivan Defense and Aerospace Division 2003 Market Leadership award in Homeland Security and Homeland Defense, and the SAIC "Terrorism Protection Manual" was awarded a Government Security Expo & Conference 2004 Profiles in Innovation Award."

Also that year, Mr. Vein's (former) company got a lot of large government computing contracts, which is no surprise as SAIC had worked closely for many years with the FBI (including 2001's failed $113 million FBI Cyber Division "Virtual Case File" project that was abandoned) and the NSA (with 2002's still unusable $1.2 billion "Trailblazer" digital communication data collection program), frequently with government employees leaving their jobs to work at SAIC. Keep in mind that also during this time, the NSA had been given the direct order to wiretap and perform warrantless (illegal) surveillence on US citizens, from 2001 until the wiretapping program was leaked to the public in the New York Times last December 2005, and it still continues. Some people see a link.

Omigawd, that's like *so weird* that he doesn't know how to address privacy issues. Maybe he like, totally forgot about it in 2001.

I found virtually no online records of his three-presidency stint at the White House, except for some really cute Freedom of Information Act records at the online George Bush Presidential Museum, including this one from 1998 relating to computers and computer technology, and this like totally adorable one from 2000 relating to Bush's dog, Millie.

I wonder what kind of experience Chris Vein brings to his job. Let's hope it's the superhero ability to negotiate our city out of shitty, overpriced, low-bandwidth, ten-year contracts with giant corporations. *That's* one thing I wish was in his eensy-weensy bio...

"...By now you must be wondering who got paid $2 billion for failing? One of the usual suspects, of course. No, not Halliburton, but close. Going under the name, "< HREF="http://www.csc.com/mms/eaglealliance/en/">The Eagle Alliance," the contract was managed by Computer Sciences Corp. (CSC) and San Diego-based Science Applications International (SAIC):

CSC spent $520,000 in 2001 to lobby Congress and various government agencies on its own behalf. That same year, the company also paid lobby firms a total of $580,000. In total, Computer Sciences Corp. spent $1,100,000 in 2001 on lobbying fees associated with a variety of issues, including appropriation and procurement bills related to the Defense Department, Treasury Department, the executive office of the president and other federal agencies. The company also lobbied on "legislative proposals for privatization and commercialization of federal services," according to lobby documents filed with Congress. In 2002, Computer Sciences Corp. spent a total of $1,110,000 to lobby on similar issues. On April 18, 2003, Computer Sciences' DynCorp International won a contract from the U.S. Department of State to provide up to 1,000 civilian advisers to help organize civilian law enforcement, judicial and correctional agencies. The estimated value could be as high as $50 million for the first year, depending on assessments of Iraqi capabilities and needs.

And the other familiar face:

Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) today announced a contract award from the National Security Agency (NSA) to be the provider of the technology demonstration platform (TDP) phase of the TRAILBLAZER program. The NSA selected the SAIC-led Digital Network Intelligence (DNI) Enterprise team that includes Northrop Grumman Corp., Booz Allen Hamilton Inc., The Boeing Co. (NYSE:BA), Computer Sciences Corp.

"...Poindexter said he had no comment about former TIA programs. But a publicly available Defense Department document, detailing various "cooperative agreements and other transactions" conducted in fiscal 2004, shows that Basketball was fully funded at least until the end of that year (September 2004). The document shows that the system was being tested at a research center jointly run by ARDA and SAIC Corp., a major defense and intelligence contractor that is the sole owner of Hicks & Associates. The document describes Basketball as a "closed-loop, end-to-end prototype system for early warning and decision-making," exactly the same language used in contract documents for the TIA prototype system when it was awarded to Hicks in 2002. An SAIC spokesman declined to comment for this story.

Another key TIA project that moved to ARDA was Genoa II, which focused on building information technologies to help analysts and policy makers anticipate and pre-empt terrorist attacks. Genoa II was renamed Topsail when it moved to ARDA, intelligence sources confirmed. (The name continues the program's nautical nomenclature; "genoa" is a synonym for the headsail of a ship.)

As recently as October 2005, SAIC was awarded a $3.7 million contract under Topsail. According to a government-issued press release announcing the award, "The objective of Topsail is to develop decision-support aids for teams of intelligence analysts and policy personnel to assist in anticipating and pre-empting terrorist threats to U.S. interests."

Thursday’s initial public offering of shares in SAIC will test the market's willingness to shrug off an expected slowdown in the rate of defense spending growth, as well as some recent missteps by one of the country's largest government contractors.

SAIC is hoping to raise as much as $1.2 billion by selling 19% of its stock in the offering. That's half a billion or so less than Google (nasdaq: GOOG - news - people ) raised in its IPO a few years back and nearly a half billion less than Google is anteing up for fledgling YouTube.

According to human rights and international law expert writer Eva Golinger, leaders of the infamous April 2002 coup met with top Bush administration officials at least six months prior...

...Golinger, who spoke with Political Affairs from Caracas by telephone, authored the 2005 book The Chávez Code: Cracking US Intervention in Venezuela...

...opposition political parties and groups, flush with US funds, planned and carried out an "economic sabotage," as Golinger describes it, that nearly crippled Venezuela’s oil industry. In the Venezuelan and US press, they claimed that workers were protesting President Chávez by refusing to go to work. Venezuela’s right-wing opposition, with the support of US taxpayer money, Bush strategists, and a little-known corporation with strong ties to the Pentagon, Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), ironically labeled their action a "strike."

In truth, the managers who ran Venezuela’s oil industry closed down the plants and refineries, locked the workers out, and even destroyed or damaged vital equipment. SAIC technicians, who, according to Golinger, provided and operated the information technology used by Venezuela’s state-owned oil company, PDVSA, aided the sabotage by shutting down computer systems that operated the plants or changing the code to disable them.

"That was actually the area the sabotage took place," Golinger reports. "It was a US company which forms part of the military industrial complex – anyone can look it up – they were the ones leading the sabotage efforts..."

Secrets
Washington's $8 Billion Shadow
Mega-contractors such as Halliburton and Bechtel supply the government with brawn. But the biggest, most powerful of the "body shops"—SAIC, which employs 44,000 people and took in $8 billion last year—sells brainpower, including a lot of the "expertise" behind the Iraq war.

by Donald L. Barlett and James B. Steele March 2007



"...SAIC maintains its headquarters in San Diego, but its center of gravity is in Washington, D.C. With a workforce of 44,000, it is the size of a full-fledged government agency—in fact, it is larger than the departments of Labor, Energy, and Housing and Urban Development combined. Its anonymous glass-and-steel Washington office—a gleaming corporate box like any other—lies in northern Virginia, not far from the headquarters of the C.I.A., whose byways it knows quite well. (More than half of SAIC's employees have security clearances.) SAIC has been awarded more individual government contracts than any other private company in America. The contracts number not in the dozens or scores or hundreds but in the thousands: SAIC currently holds some 9,000 active federal contracts in all. More than a hundred of them are worth upwards of $10 million apiece...

...If the C.I.A. needs an outside expert to quietly check whether its employees are using their computers for personal business, it calls on SAIC. If the Immigration and Naturalization Service needs new record-keeping software, it calls on SAIC...

...What everyone agrees on is this: No Washington contractor pursues government money with more ingenuity and perseverance than SAIC. No contractor seems to exploit conflicts of interest in Washington with more zeal. And no contractor cloaks its operations in greater secrecy. SAIC almost never touts its activities in public, preferring to stay well below the radar...

...One involves the National Security Agency, America's intelligence-gathering "electronic ear" and for many years SAIC's biggest customer. The volume of telephone, e-mail, and other electronic communications that the N.S.A. intercepts worldwide is so massive that the agency urgently needs a new computer system to store it, sort it, and give it meaning—otherwise it will keep missing clues like the Arabic message "Tomorrow is zero hour," intercepted the day before 9/11 but not translated until the day after. SAIC won the initial $280 million, 26-month contract to design and create this system, called Trailblazer...

...Robert M. Gates, the new secretary of defense, whose confirmation hearings lasted all of a day, is a former member of SAIC's board of directors....

...its San Diego offices were mysteriously burgled in January of 2005...
...By SAIC's account, the computers contained personal data on thousands of present and past employees, presumably including the company's many former C.I.A. operatives, N.S.A. executives, and Pentagon officials. To date, the burglary remains unsolved....

...at SAIC your job fundamentally was to sell your high-tech ideas and blue-chip expertise to the army, navy, air force, C.I.A., N.S.A., Atomic Energy Commission, and any other government agency with money to spend and an impulse to buy....

...SAIC had its own brokerage subsidiary, licensed by the S.E.C., a kind of in-house Merrill Lynch called Bull, Inc. The name accurately predicted the stock's vitality...

...William B. Black Jr., who retired from the N.S.A. in 1997 after a 38-year career to become a vice president at SAIC, returned to the N.S.A. in 2000. Two years later the agency awarded the Trailblazer contract to SAIC. Black managed the program. Donald Foley, a current SAIC director, came out of a top position at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, the Pentagon group responsible for developing new military technology....

...Over the next four years, Kay and others associated with SAIC hammered away at the threat posed by Iraq. Wayne Downing, a retired general and a close associate of Ahmad Chalabi, proselytized hard for an invasion of Iraq, stating that the Iraqis "are ready to take the war … overseas. They would use whatever means they have to attack us." In many of his appearances on network and cable television leading up to the war, Downing was identified simply as a "military analyst."...

...This SAIC operation reported to Douglas Feith, the undersecretary of defense for policy at the Pentagon, a key assistant to Rumsfeld, and one of the architects of the Iraq invasion and occupation. Feith's deputy was Christopher "Ryan" Henry, a former SAIC senior vice president...

...Among SAIC's subject-matter experts was Shaha Riza, an Arab feminist and communications adviser at the World Bank. Riza also happened to be the girlfriend of Paul Wolfowitz, the deputy secretary of defense....

...To create its Iraqi Media Network, SAIC hired professional newsmen from the United States as consultants. One of them was a former NBC News staff member, Don North, who had launched his career as a cameraman in Vietnam and eventually rose to become the NBC News bureau chief in Cairo....

..."The Commission found no indication that the Intelligence Community distorted the evidence regarding Iraq's weapons of mass destruction," the report concluded.

Three of the commission's staff members had direct ties to SAIC. One was Gordon Oehler, the commission's deputy director for review. When Oehler left the C.I.A., in October of 1997, after a 25-year career, he in essence walked down the street and into the McLean offices of SAIC to become a vice president for corporate development. A second commission staff member with ties to the company was Jeffrey R. Cooper, vice president for technology and chief science officer in one of SAIC's major sub-units. The third member was Samuel S. Visner, who holds a graduate degree in Washington's revolving-door system. From 1997 to 2001, Visner was an SAIC vice president for corporate development, and also a business-development manager. Next, he moved into a government spymaster job, becoming chief of signals-intelligence programs for the National Security Agency. ...

...One of the biggest contracts ever for SAIC is in the works right now. It's for a Pentagon program called Future Combat Systems, which is described as "a complex plan to turn the U.S. Army into a lighter, more lethal, more mobile force" and also as "the most difficult integration program ever undertaken by the U.S. Department of Defense." The contract runs into the billions of dollars. The man who helped craft this program at the Pentagon was Lieutenant General Daniel R. Zanini. Zanini recently retired from the army, and he now has a new job. Can you guess where it might be?...

Air Defense Planning Aided by Simulations

by Sandra I. Erwin

War-planning software currently in development for Navy Aegis cruisers will give air defense planners at sea—via digital simulations—a capability to try to predict how their proposed layout of forces would affect the outcome of the battle.

The system is called the area air defense commander (AADC), a program that started in 1998. It automates air defense planning—a task that traditionally has been accomplished with paper and pencil. AADC produces a digital, 3-D picture of the battlefield, which expedites the process of conducting “what-if” scenarios for air defense.

AADC is a command and control system that uses data received from other sensors to develop alternative solutions for placing blue forces in the theater. The air defense commander tool allocates resources and does not manage individual engagements.

There are three prototypes being tested today. The Navy plans to install AADC on 12 ships by 2006, as part of an overall upgrade program for the Aegis cruisers.

One of the prototypes is at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab, in Laurel, Md., where the system first was developed. The other two systems are being demonstrated on the USS Shiloh and the USS Mount Whitney.

“The warfare area commander function in the past was done manually with pencils,” said Navy Cdr. Dean M. Pedersen, AADC program manager. “The system that we are building automates those functions and gives [the commander] better information,” he said, during a conference on naval theater ballistic missile defense, in Columbia, Md.

The main reason the Navy is trying to carve out a role for AADC is that it expects to be “first on the scene when the crisis begins,” said Pedersen. The AADC system can be operated by the ship force, organically. A reserve team of about 33 people would be sent onboard the cruiser to augment the force. “Once you enter crisis support mode, the cruiser would support the joint task force commander,” he explained. “AADC would transition capability ashore for joint operations. A regional area defense commander would remain on the cruiser.”

AADC has encountered “challenges in development,” said Pedersen, because of the various concepts of warfare “shaped uniquely by the services, independently, for air defense. The AADC operators would be coordinating defensive roles, for example, for the Army’s Patriot and theater area (THAAD) anti-missile systems. “We also are working the air defense picture against cruise missiles and manned aircraft,” said Pedersen. “Our vision is to bring all that together to fight the area defense battle, so sensors and weapons can be coordinated.”

The prime contractor for AADC, General Dynamics Advanced Technology Systems, received an award last July for engineering and manufacturing development work.

Pedersen touted the system’s ability to model scenarios and run war games. “We can never fully predict what the enemy will do, but by running multiple scenarios against the same plan, it allows us to see what would happen if the enemy changes its forces.

“We do ‘what if’ analysis,” he explained. The system “allows you to do that multiple times, based on different priorities and asset formation. In the past, with pencil and paper, the planners could do one, two or three at best. With this system, they can run 10 options in a matter of minutes. A warfare commander can see up to 100 runs against a plan, or against two or three plans, and choose one to best protect the forces.”

The subcontractor responsible for the modeling and simulation technology in AADC is Science Applications International Corp. Inc. (SAIC), in Arlington, Va. The company’s contract is for 48 months.

Tom Schooley, program engineer at SAIC, said there are several areas where models and simulations will be used. “Models and sims look at the optimal way to position the forces to best defend the assets,” he said in a recent interview.

AADC largely will rely on existing force-on-force simulations that the military services have been using for some time, said Schooley. The commander will have a “dynamic re-planning,” capability so that he can change the makeup of the friendly forces in response to enemy movements.

“One of the challenges of this program is to figure out how to incorporate the real-time activities,” said Schooley. “It’s something we have had to do manually for years.”

The current AADC prototypes, he said, “didn’t take a hard look at the modeling and simulation arena. ... There will be a lot of [integration] challenges with the services. ... The services have to develop concepts and tactics.”

Schooley believes AADC could achieve a basic air defense plan “in a couple of hours. Adjustments to the plan can be made in minutes.”

The system’s end product is a “real plan that provides,” he said, “not only maps and overlays and pictures, but also detailed information that establishes priorities and rules of engagement.”

Powered by SGI, General Dynamics Air Defense System Better Enables Forward-Deployed Operations, Homeland Defense
January 14, 2003

Company: SGI
Industry: Military/Defense

Mountain View,CA--SGI (NYSE: SGI) and General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems, a unit of General Dynamics (NYSE: GD), are working together to produce the U.S.Navy's Area Air Defense Commander (AADC) Capability system powered by SGI computing and visualization technology to better enable U.S.forces to conduct forward-deployed operations and homeland defense.

A multimillion-dollar purchase order booked in the December quarter by General Dynamics for the AADC program includes a 32-processor SGI Origin 3400 server, three SGI Onyx 3000 series high-performance graphics systems, five Silicon Graphics Octane2 visualization workstations and a Silicon Graphics O2+TM graphics workstation.

The sudden nature of the Sept.11, 2001, attacks and the continually changing events in America's war on terrorism have substantiated the need to rapidly deploy an air defense planning and operational support system that not only can respond to changing conditions but can also quickly anticipate possible scenarios and develop plans of action.AADC provides an integrated air defense picture so that military commanders can quickly gather data on air and missile attacks as well as develop air defense plans that recommend theater-level placement of air defense assets from land and sea.

AADC ingests, stores and assimilates information from radars and data links into an easily understood graphic representation, so that airborne aircraft and missiles in a theater-wide area are represented by realistic three-dimensional depictions instead of less coherent symbols, recording vital information such as heading, air speed, altitude, and whether aircraft are friendly, enemy or neutral.

"Although previous systems provided military planners with slices of data, the capability to view an entire theater's air defense picture and coordinate operations in near real time did not exist prior to AADC," said Bill Evans, AADC program manager, General Dynamics Advanced Technology Systems."This revolutionary warfighting capability will better enable U.S.forces to conduct forward-deployed operations and homeland defense."

Unlike other systems, AADC displays airborne objects as they really are.The use of visual representations greatly enhances situational awareness, an especially critical factor during an engagement, when participants are under extraordinary stress and time constraints.Realistic, color-coded icons are universally recognizable, allowing for a rapid grasp of the operational situation.Using large-screen displays, planes look like planes, and friendly aircraft can easily be distinguished from the enemy.

AADC has been installed and fielded aboard Navy command-and-control ships USS Blue Ridge and USS Mount Whitney, as well as the Aegis cruiser USS Shiloh.The Navy has identified 17 other sites for AADC installations including other command-and-control ships, Aegis-class cruisers and land-based facilities.

Visualizing Complex Atmospheric Phenomena

Overview

The OMEGA system from SAIC is a powerful tool for weather forecasting and atmospheric dispersion modeling. The output from OMEGA is a large, multi-dimensional dataset which is difficult to interpret and visualize.

Delta Search Labs and SAIC worked together to develop powerful visualization capabilities, which greatly simplify interpretation and understanding of OMEGA predictions. Some of the challenges included the massive size of OMEGA output, the constantly changing adaptive mesh algorithms used by OMEGA, and the large scale geographic areas typically covered.

In just a few weeks, DSL engineers developed a custom application for displaying OMEGA data in the CAVE. This application handled the size and complexity of OMEGA data, provided an easy to use interface, and presented the information in a way that both experts and ordinary people can understand.

These visualization tools were applied to data from hurricane Floyd (1999), and to the smoke dispersion from the Indonesian fires of 2002. These results were publicly shown at the SuperComputing 2002 conference in Baltimore.

OMEGA

OMEGA, the Operational Multiscale Environment model with Grid Adaptivity, was designed as an operational tool to support weather and hazardous atmospheric dispersion forecasting. Utilizing an adaptive unstructured grid technique developed by the aerospace community, and emphasizing the air surface interactions and boundary layer physics that drives the near-surface weather and dispersion problem, OMEGA provides a significant advance in the state-of-the-art.

OMEGA started as a regional model with static grid adaptation designed for vector/serial architectures. The first enhancement of the model was to invoke autotasking to perform loop-level parallelization of the code. This was followed by the implementation of dynamic adaptation, first in the vector/serial version of the model and later in the domain-decomposition parallel version. More recently we have started to perform global simulations using OMEGA with static adaptation in the vector/serial version and are currently completing the OMEGA capability cube with the addition of dynamic adaptation to the global model in the vector/serial and, finally, the parallel version.

OMEGA includes the embedded Atmospheric Dispersion Model (ADM). ADM consists of both Eulerian (grid based) and Lagrangian (grid free) transport schemes. In addition, the Lagrangian transport scheme includes both particle and Gaussian puff algorithms. XGRID allows the graphical analysis of both modes.

Indonesian Biomass Burning



In September, 1997, illegal biomass burning in Sumatra and Kalimantan, Indonesia set fire to peat underlying the region. The resulting peat fires burned for weeks, emitting a great deal of smoke resulting in operational and health effects.

On Friday, September 26, 1997, twin disasters, both associated with the reduced visibility caused by the smoke, occurred. At 1:50 pm, Garuda flight GA-152, an Airbus A-300, descending for landing at Medan collided with terrain 32 km west of Polonia Airport. Less than 12 hours later, the Vikraman cargo ship and the Mount 1 supertanker collided in the Strait of Malacca about 11 p.m. near the central Malaysian town of Port Dickson, about 50 miles south of Kuala Lumpur.

On Monday, September 29, 1997, maritime insurance through the Strait of Malacca was lifted. On Tuesday, September 30, SAIC was contacted about simulating the conditions leading up to these events.

Hurricane Floyd


OMEGA can adapt dynamically to changing conditions in the forecast. In this simulation, we show the initial grid for a simulation of Hurricane Floyd. The simulation and the grid are updated each hour of adaptation for 65 hours. It is important to note that the grid does not move, but rather is altered by a chain of refinement and coarsening steps.

This dynamic adaptive grid maximizes computational efficiency – a critical factor for phenomena as complex as a hurricane. It resolves important processes, and does not require a priori knowledge.

Visualization

Initial efforts used existing visualization tools, such as Cave5D. The OMEGA data presents unique challenges – it uses a prismatic grid structure, rather than a Cartesian grid. The grid and grid size typically changes for each time step in the simulation. The results are time-varying, and contain multiple types of information (temperature, pressure, wind direction and velocity, clouds, particulate levels, etc.)

Delta’s engineers chose to develop a visualization application built around OMEGA’s data structure. This approach adapted to all of the unique requirements and characteristics of working with OMEGA. The application fully utilized the visualization power of the CAVE, and can support other environments.

Existing tools and infrastructure were used where possible – user interface tools, application frameworks, navigation and manipulation methodology, etc. As a result of combining existing frameworks with OMEGA specific data, the first prototype was displaying time-varying OMEGA data in the CAVE in just a few days.

Further refinement over the period of a few weeks provided a flexible application that allows users to fly around and visualize data from different angles, incorporate GIS (Geographic Information Systems) data, show realistic clouds and smoke plumes, and display different types of data.

Can Computer Models Help to Quell Insurgent-Drive Strife and Instability?

By admin - Posted on June 26th, 2007
Tagged: Computers  •  Science

Two scientists who have been using computers to help assess the behavior of insurgent groups told a AAAS-organized seminar that, despite their limitations, quantitative methods could play an important role in helping military commanders and political leaders make more informed decisions.

While acknowledging that computer models are still in their infancy and can provide only hints of possible outcomes during the often chaotic conditions in combat zones, the specialists said the Pentagon has considerable interest in the use of cross-cultural research to help combat insurgencies.

V.S. Subrahmanian, co-director of the University of Maryland's Laboratory for Computational Cultural Dynamics, described how computers can be programmed to automatically and quickly extract relevant data from thousands of news reports on a topic and offer a probability estimate that a particular action might happen. He spoke at a 14 June Capitol Hill seminar organized by AAAS's Center for Science, Technology and Security Policy.

Subrahmanian's team has looked, for example, at reports of suicide attacks by the militant Hezbollah group, based in Lebanon. Preliminary results by the researchers suggest that when the group is engaged in education and propaganda activities in a major way, there's a 46-47% probability it will carry out suicide attacks. When it is not engaged in such activities, the probability of an attack rises to about 80%.

Subrahmanian's team also did an automated analysis of 1555 recent stories in the Afghan media to assess the perceived strength or weakness of Afghan President Hamid Karzai on a scale of minus 1 to plus 1. The analysis, which searched for phrases containing both opinions and statements of fact that can influence opinions, showed Karzai's overall rating was mildly positive for most news sources.

The intensity of opinions can influence how a group might act during times of stress and conflict, Subrahmanian said. Behavioral scientists would like to find ways to accurately predict how a group might respond, he said, and do so in a matter of hours or days rather than weeks or months.

"You would like to find the pressure points where you can exert influence to change behavior," said Alexander Levis, an engineering professor at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va., and former chief scientist for the U.S. Air Force.

The Pentagon, primarily through the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, has been funding research by Subrahmanian, Levis and others in an effort to better understand the potential cultural, religious and social impact of military actions in combat zones. The Pentagon is proposing to spend more than $120 million over six years on social science modeling projects. The goal is to provide a new suite of tools that analysts can use to help assess the emergence of insurgent groups, how they interact with the local population and how they might respond to military or economic interventions. Such models would go beyond the purely military objectives that are at the heart of computerized war games.

Levis said his current work has been funded by both the Air Force Office of Scientific Research and the Office of Naval Research. His open-source academic research builds on similar studies pursued during the past 10 to 15 years by the intelligence community, he said.

The key, according to Levis, is to find ways to fuse the insights from different quantitative models, drawing on the strengths of each. "We need to make sure that the tools play together when used properly," he said. But he stressed that none of the tools will allow analysts to make firm predictions.

"We're not predicting outcomes," Levis said. "We do comparisons of the effectiveness of alternatives."

INSERT:  Traitor, engineer of the technology to execute 9/11, is lying in the above portions highlighted in brown above, as will be shown elsewhere.

In one project, Levis and his colleagues developed a computer model that offered U.S. forces in Iraq options for securing two old silk roads in the Diyala province that been attacked by insurgents using improvised explosive devices, or IEDs. The roads, one controlled by the Kurds and the other controlled by Sunni and Shia groups, had long been routes for both legitimate trade and for smuggling of drugs and other covert goods.

When IEDs began to be used along the Sunni-Shia route, the movement of covert goods shifted to the north along the Kurdish-controlled route, Levis said. Suppressing the attacks on one of the routes led to increased attacks on the other, he said.

Rather than deploying additional U.S. forces to help control the IED incidents, the computer model suggested that U.S. commanders should turn over security along the roads to Iraqi forces and allow them to ignore the smuggling of goods along the routes.

"We wanted to maintain the economic activity on the two routes," Levis said.

The preferred option also included educational efforts among the local populace to reduce support for the insurgency, the re-establishment of services, and external financial support to help improve the local economy. The model projected that all of the actions, taken together, would take at least six months of concerted effort to significantly reduce the number of IEDs. It projected that support for the insurgency would decline below 50 percent after about 21 months.

"I have absolutely no clue whether it would take 21 months or not," Levis said. But the model does tell an analyst that the recommended actions would take "not one or two months [but] a whole bunch of months," he said.

Such information can be useful to an analyst who is offering options for policy makers. But Levis cautioned that the numbers must be used appropriately. "This is not a view graph to be shown to the commander," he said, as a guide for planning troop withdrawals after 21 months.

Some of the computer tools have been given to defense and intelligence agencies for testing and user feedback. And some data has been provided to field commanders. Subrahmanian said his team "shipped a bunch of information on several tribes in the Pakistan-Afghanistan borderlands" to the U.S. Army's 10th Mountain Division before it deployed to Afghanistan in 2006. "So we have valuable results as well as much work to be done," he said.

One long-term goal of Subrahmanian's research is to develop a three-dimensional "virtual experience environment," a cultural and behavioral analogue of a computer war game, where U.S. decision-makers could decide how best to play out the actions of multiple groups in a region. The virtual environment would resemble the real landscape of the region being modeled, with characters behaving according to rules of behavior drawn from relevant and timely data collected by the researchers.

The modelers are just starting to grapple with the complexities of such a virtual environment, Subrahmanian said. They can do visual reconstructions of the landscapes, but they have little real-world content and few real-time news and information feeds. Among the key challenges, he said, is extracting useful knowledge from perhaps a thousand times more data than the team has been using.

While some former military officials have been skeptical of the computer-modeling work, Subrahmanian noted that "we're not the only ones building these immersive experiences." Even Hezbollah has a war-fighting video game that it sells to potential recruits, he said.

SECURITY
Network Would Link Municipal Law Officials With Federal Intelligence Information

By RALPH BLUMENTHAL

The former F.B.I. official heading New York State's antiterrorism campaign said yesterday that the state's 80,000 municipal law enforcement officers would be tied into a new network providing intelligence information intended to prevent new terrorist attacks.

The official, James K. Kallstrom, said he spoke to a group of 300 police chiefs and officers in Albany this week, telling them, "We are going to get all of you back into the business of counterterrorism." He called the local forces "our front line of defense."

In an interview in his office at 633 Third Avenue in Manhattan, Mr. Kallstrom, former director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's New York office and now Gov. George E. Pataki's director of public safety, said the effort was intended in part to keep better track of foreigners who are considered potential security risks after years of letting them into the country with few controls.

"If some night police on the Taconic Parkway stop someone who's an illegal alien who doesn't have proper documentation, we need a better system of contacts and follow-up," he said. He declined to describe the network in any detail, saying only that it would be some kind of computer link.

"We are communicating with every cop on the street and every sheriff on the street with relevant real- time information all the way from Washington and down to the cops and back again," he said. "We want to make their vision even more peripheral and piercing."

College security officials should also be mobilized to look out for foreign students who obtain visas for study in the United States but disappear before ever registering, Mr. Kallstrom said.

To assist him in his duties, he said, he lured out of retirement a former chief of the New York Police Department, Louis R. Anemone, to be his deputy, and was planning a staff of 25 to 30. Among those who have volunteered their services, he said, are a former official of the Central Intelligence Agency and a businessman with expertise in biological threats.

"I want to have people of many different mind-sets in the room," Mr. Kallstrom said.

He said he was setting up a number of "brain trusts" of experts in health, science and engineering. "Shame on us if we don't take advantage of biometrics and our ability to positively identify someone," he said, referring to the science of identifying people through their individual characteristics, like fingerprints or retinal patterns.

He said he was also working closely with a special state subcommittee on terrorism formed by State Senator Roy M. Goodman, the Manhattan Republican and chairman of the Senate Investigations Committee.

In three weekly closed-door meetings so far, including one on Wednesday with Mr. Kallstrom, that panel, which includes four former New York police commissioners and several former federal agents, identified persistent vulnerabilities in aviation, rail and waterway systems; emergency medical care; and other areas, and offered a variety of remedies, some drawn from the war against organized crime.

Panel members said they called for installing chemical and biological sensors in airports, rail stations and tunnels; arming pilots in the cockpit; and getting the Federal Aviation Administration and private contractors out of the airline security business.

The group reviewed about 2,000 possible targets, a list compiled for the millennium celebrations[/color], said Raymond W. Kelly, a former New York police commissioner and United States customs commissioner.

Robert J. McGuire, another former police commissioner, said that if the country was truly at war, the authorities should be viewing terrorist suspects more as potential prisoners of war to be interrogated than as criminals to be prosecuted. Mr. Kallstrom said he would not comment on Mr. McGuire's position.

Henry I. DeGeneste, a former superintendent of the Port Authority police in charge of the New York area's airports, said food service employees and other staff members still had too much unsupervised access to secure areas, and he called for passenger and employee screenings to be taken over by federal officers.

One medical specialist who addressed the panel, Dr. Irwin Redlener, president of the Children's Hospital at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx, told the group that the emergency health care system was not paying enough attention to the needs of children, who are particularly vulnerable to chemical and biological agents.

Mr. Kallstrom said, "There may be bumps in the road," but vowed an unrelenting engagement. "We're obsessed with this, not having something happen," he said.

OMG. This is messed up. There are a lot of different things going through my head right now, but the main one is kind of obvious:

WTF HAPPENED TO OUR MILITARY???

The AIAA Information and Command and Control System Technical Committee had an excellent meeting in December in Washington, D.C. We were able to have several outside government speakers to address critical issues that are important to the US government. These presentations included.

* Implications of September 11 for C3I, John Stenbit, ASD C3I * International Cooperation and Information Sharing for Complex Emergencies, William Wood, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State (Analysis and Information Management

* Effects-Based Operations, Dr. Alex Levis, Chief Scientist, U.S. Air Force

* Defense Transformation after September 11, VADM Arthur Cebrowski,(USN Ret), Director, Office of Force Transformation, OSD,

* S&T Budget for DoD, Dr. Charlie Holland, DUSD, S&T Some high level observations are:

* DoD S&T budget and DARPA budget will increase

* Network Centric Operations is a key area

* DoD transformation will change the culture, policies and processes of DoD

* Effects based operations is important to DoD The TC also held a meeting in August in Alburquerque, New Mexico. We had sessions on:

* Strategic Plan for the TC with emphasis on new strategic directions

* Update on the Sensemaking Workshop that took place 23-25 October. Note that CCRP had the lead New Committee Appointments Membership - Mitzi Wertheim Liaison - Jude Franklin Strategic Planning - Gary Doblen Meetings - Cindy Williams Workshops - Larry Wentz Awards Bill Kemple Short Courses - Dick Hayes Furthe notes from the 17-18 December meeting in Pentagon City, VA Members arei requested to verify their information with AIAA The following new members were unanimously voted onto the TC Jim Brooks Chip Picket Mark Coumotus Dawn Meyeriecks Strategic Planning Round Robin: "Committee Background" slide

* Sensemaking Workshop is on a "book tour" and has been well received

* Code of Best Practices is being expanded and turned into a book at the request of the new J9 "Strategic Planning" slide

* Initiatives need a sponsor so the work doesn't run into a brick wall

* How much do we bring C3I back into AIAA, our parent organization? Do we need more TC interaction to share our expertise with AIAA?

* Need to continue the discussions started in Kosovo. Do these lessons have greater importance in light of 9/11? Increased working relationships among agencies that haven't traditionally worked together?

* Should the TC push to get more civil agencies involved? TC Meeting If the Sensemaking paper is suitable for publishing, shouldn't we publish it? Should we post it to the AIAA's website as well? Possible new members:

*Bill Kincaid (Orincon)

*Dan Randeau (Sandia)

*Charlie Holland (S&T)

*Dick Mosier (Raython)

* Johnny Grimes (Raytheon) TC appears to be outside the strict AIAA guidelines bout TC organization and length of time members remain on the TC - Cindy and Stuart will meet with AIAA to discuss. The TC should put its charter up on the website Potential next meetings:

* Workshop in the DC area the last three days of February 2002

* Boston in early spring

* Millennium Challenge in Tidewater area (24 July - 9 August)

* Colorado Springs

* C2 battlefield at Hurlburt

* Colorado in general (Joint Test & Evaluation Center, NORAD/Cheyenne Mountain, Space Warfare Center, Space Commands)

* San Diego (Hunter Warrior) M&S Workshop Round Robin Objective is to improve the acquisition of C4ISR through M&S What does success look like? What are the roles and responsibilities for the government and industry attendees? How are the break-out sessions envisioned to occur?

* What would participants like M&S to be able to do for them? Can they do it now? Of the things they can't do now, what is too hard, hard but solvable, easy but just not done yet, etc. Is the majority of the TC interested in the workshop? (yes) Is there a sponsor? Does it fulfill the TC's strategy and charter? Other areas of TC focus Is there a nugget in Peace Support Ops that can be gleaned for Homeland Security, or vice versa? Homeland Defense Coalition Impacts DoD Intelligence interaction with Law Enforcement Intelligence

* Rocky Mountain Intel Network as example Summary of lessons learned from 9/11 [INSERT: WTF IS THIS?]

Futuristic security surveillance system brings Big Brother to life
DARPA system would use sophisticated software, sensors to monitor, interpret activities over large areas
By Layer 8 on Thu, 09/24/09 - 9:32am.



Researchers are looking to develop an intelligent image system that can monitor large areas, perhaps miles wide,  identify potential threats based on the correlation of events and anomalies it detects, and issue timely alerts with few false alarms.

Such a surveillance system is at the heart of what researchers at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency calls a Persistent Stare Exploitation and Analysis System (PerSEAS) that can automatically and interactively discover intelligence from optical or infra-red devices in the air on drones, for example, or spread over urban, suburban, and rural environments.

DARPA said it envisions two major applications for such a system.  Perhaps most important,  the first would use the system in a near real-time mode to receive alerts and warnings to react to and avert disasters. For example, if it notices a number of activities that were out of the usual, such as the gathering of lots of soldiers and trucks it could alert local authorities.

The second would be to use the data gathered from the system to use archived data from the system to analyze events, such as an attack to determine the movements and origins of the entities involved in the event, DARPA said.   For both types of applications DARPA said the PerSEAS system ideally could receive or generate cues from/to other sensor systems to identify places or people of interest for additional details.

Overall the challenge is to identify potential threats based on the accumulation and correlation of multiple events and anomalies, and issue alerts so military folks in the field can take quick action or other officials can alert the public of problems, DARPA said.

Specifically the PerSEAS system will gather data from sensors and feed the data into an intelligent software engine supporting algorithms that discover relationships and anomalies that are indicative of suspicious behavior, match previously learned threat activity, or match user defined threat activity should also be incorporated, DARPA stated.

DARPA notes that in recent years, the military has fielded several optical/infra-red systems it calls Wide Area Motion Imagery (WAMI) but is in the process of buying newer, more capable systems that will expand the deployment and development of airborne WAMI devices.   One such system, known as SWEEPER, which is short for short-range wide-field-of-view extremely-agile electronically-steered photonic emitters, uses lasers as a super-powered surveillance system.

These new systems persistently monitor fixed geographic locations for long periods of time using electro-optic sensors. Some store their WAMI data onboard and download it at the end of each mission for post-event analysis. Others provide operational support through real-time transfer of the data, DARPA stated.

Current efforts to exploit data from current sensor systems are mostly manual and require hours to days of painstaking analysis to produce results. The tedious nature of current exploitation capabilities limits the ability to fully utilize the available data. Consequently, critical questions go unanswered and timely threat cues are missed. PerSEAS will automatically discover potential threat activities in near real-time, as well as allow analysts to quickly validate the findings, DARPA stated.

This system is a satanic symphony of insanity. The only purpose is to protect a very small group of self illuminated psychopaths.

There are various lens/camera/surveillance systems. On a micro level (as in microcomputers, microeconomics) a few I will refer to for the sake of trying to illustrate levels of insanity are cat's eye and fly's eye.  With cat's eye the lens/camera gets triggered with movement, angles, fluctuations in light, etc.  It can verify if there is a face , hands, etc. It can do face recognition, can swivel the camera as necessary, zoom in and out.  Then there is fly's eye that is like thousands of tiny cameras like a fly's which can gather tons of information on peripheral scenes/movement. The integration of these systems with a central connection for interoperability is absolutely nuts without any human intervention, without constitutional consideration (as if the founding fathers were not aware of illegal surveillance whether it was through electronics or through spies), and without sunshine into the full and thorough details of any and all such operations.

I mean there must be white papers and technical details about what is done with the information.

There could just be a strike force sent in to evaluate/take out the threat. Or there could be the ability to shut down utilities around the threat...all communication systems shut down so the threat cannot reach out to anyone. All electricity shut down so the threat cannot see, cannot try to use any electronic device, fire sprinklers set off, if in a computer room with oxygen deprivation, the system could suffocate any "threats" around.  I mean the inherent nature of such systems is dehumanizing and the end game for the developers of such systems is population reduction.

They only are getting the opportunities to create such systems because of false flag terrorism.  Before 9/11 (which was a false flag by our very government who is creating/approving/funding these systems with our tax money) such systems never got the funding and backing they do now.

"[T]he process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event––like a new Pearl Harbor".

DynCorp in Colombia: Outsourcing the Drug War
www.corpwatch.org/article.php?id=672
by Jeremy Bigwood, Special to CorpWatch
May 23rd, 2001
[If only Dyncorp had a way to also control the poppy fields of afghanistan. Wow, wonder if anything happened 6 months later to help further them along in this project]

A U.S.-made Huey II military helicopter manned by foreigners wearing U.S. Army fatigues crash lands after being pockmarked by sustained guerrilla fire from the jungle below. Its crew members, one of them wounded, are surrounded by enemy guerrillas. Another three helicopters, this time carrying American crews, cut through the hot muggy sky. While two of them circle, firing machine-guns at hidden enemy, one swoops down alongside the downed Huey, and the Americans jump through the wash of the blades into the firefight on the ground, successfully rescuing the downed crew members. It could be a scene from a soon-to-be-released Hollywood blockbuster based on the war in Vietnam or El Salvador. But, it happened in Colombia last February, as part of the U.S. $1.3 billion intervention called "Plan Colombia." The Americans who braved the bullets were members of an armed "airmobile" Search and Rescue Team. However, they were not part of the U.S. Armed Forces, but civilian employees of a private company called DynCorp, the new "privateer mercenaries" of a U.S. policy that now "outsources" its wars.

Like the old English "privateer" pirates of the Caribbean five hundred years ago, sailing under no national flag - robbing and plundering Latin America's riches for the English Crown, Washington now employs hundreds of contract employees through U.S. corporations to carry out its policies in Colombia and other countries. In the old days, the British maintained that because the pirate ships did not fly the English flag, the Crown was not responsible for their actions. While the new privateers are underwritten through U.S. taxes, they are technically "contract employees." Like the sixteenth century pirates, if they get caught in an embarrassing crime, or are killed, the U.S. government can deny responsibility for their actions. What's more only a select few in Congress know of their activities and their operations are not subject to public scrutiny, despite the fact that they are on the government payroll.

"It's very handy to have an outfit not part of the U.S. armed forces, obviously. If somebody gets killed or whatever, you can say it's not a member of the armed forces," former U.S. Ambassador to Colombia, Myles Frechette told reporters. Meanwhile, Former Drug Czar Barry McCaffrey recently described himself as an "unabashed admirer of outsourcing." And there is an economic consideration too. Deploying high ranking active duty military officers to staff Colombian operations is far more costly than hiring retired officers working privately. A U.S. government official, who asked not to be named, said that there were several reasons that the U.S. government outsources projects: "[Outsourcing] can be a flexible, cost-effective means of providing specific labor-intensive services on a short-term basis. Once we hire government workers, they are here forever. Some of these jobs are only short-term."

Outsourcing belligerent activities on the part of the U.S. government is not new. It goes back to the Revolutionary War. Many such companies were involved in the Vietnam war, but they were only a minuscule presence compared to the major military effort by the U.S. there. What is new is that now contract employees are in the forefront of operations. In the Colombian war, private outsourced military men are out on the frontlines, while the real U.S. troops are hidden on bases as trainers. The exact number of contract employees in Colombia is not known. A recent State Department report states that there are only 200 U.S. military soldiers and about 170 American contractors working in Colombia. Historically, official counts of U.S. personnel and contractors tend to be underestimated in counter-insurgency operations.

DynCorp and Plan Colombia

By far the largest U.S. contractor company in Latin America is DynCorp, headquartered in Reston, Virginia near the CIA, and Pentagon. It hires and places many ex-military personnel, but is actually much more diverse and more high-tech than that. The company's website promotes it as an Internet Technologies corporation. DynCorp describes its areas of expertise as "Information Systems, Information Technology/Outsourcing and Technical Services." Once you dig a little deeper, it becomes clear that this is no ordinary high-tech start up.

According to its own literature, "DynCorp's expertise spans more than five decades - encompassing events from the computer revolution, the Space Age, the Cold War and conflicts from Korea, Vietnam and Desert Storm. Through these times, we have dedicated ourselves to providing customers with the best and most educated solutions. Our IT experience has evolved with this ever-changing industry, and we continue to offer our clients solid solutions based on this evolution." DynCorp has "worked with domestic and foreign government agencies to provide successful information, engineering and aerospace technology solutions. As a result, few companies understand the public sector like DynCorp, or can boast a government client base with the depth and breadth of ours."

Indeed, government contracts account for 98% of DynCorp's business. It contracts with more than 30 U.S. government agencies, including the Department of Defense, State Department, FBI, Drug Enforcement Agency, Bureau of Prisons, and the Office of National Drug Policy. About half of DynCorp's revenue comes from the Pentagon and many of its employees are retired military men. The rest of the contracts are mostly with civilian government agencies. According to its website, last year it generated more than $1.8 billion in annual revenues, a $4.4 billion-dollar contract backlog and more than 20,000 employees in more than 550 locations. CEO Paul Lombardi recently boasted to the Washington Technology website that he projects 2001 revenue will top $2 billion. Like many transnational giants DynCorp has gobbled up some of the competition. In 1999 it acquired GTE Information Systems which has helped the company pursue government mega-contracts.

Since 1997, DynCorp has operated under a $600 million-dollar State Department contract in Latin America. But, according to its contract with the State Department, recently acquired by CorpWatch, "mission deployments may be made to any worldwide location, including, potentially, outside of Central and South America." The company mainly "participates in eradication missions, training, and drug interdiction, but also participates in air transport, reconnaissance, search and rescue, airborne medical evacuation, ferrying equipment and personnel from one country to another, as well as aircraft maintenance," according to the contract. DynCorp operates several State Department aircraft, including armed UH-1H Iroquois and Bell-212 Huey-type helicopters and T-65 Thrush crop dusters. DynCorp provides the pilots, technicians, and just about any kind of personnel required to carry out the war in Colombia, including administrative personnel. Some of its personnel in Colombia, such as its helicopter pilots are Colombians, Peruvians, and Guatemalans, but most are from the U.S. All must speak passable Spanish and English, and all must possess U.S. government "Secret" personnel security clearances, except in the cases of foreign contractors, where this requirement may be waived.

DynCorp is tight lipped when it comes to its clients. Company spokesperson Janet Wineriter refused to comment on the company's overseas operations. Nor will the State Department make on-the-record statements about DynCorp's operations. Company paramedic Michael Demons apparently recently died of a heart attack on a Colombian military base and the U.S. Embassy in Bogotá attempted to keep his death secret. Because Demons was not a military officer and didn't work directly for the U.S. government, there was no official report and his death was treated as if he were a tourist. DynCorp has also lost three pilots in action. None of these deaths were reported in the news media.

DynCorp also operates in Bolivia and Peru, in conflict zones where indigenous coca growers feel U.S. drug operations encroach on their cultural use of coca and their economic livelihood. In Peru these areas also face renewed activity of Shining Path guerillas. But by far the largest DynCorp operations are in Colombia, and according to its contract with the State Department, it has a "command and control" function in the field, apparently outside any government oversight.

DynCorp's shroud of secrecy has the potential for giving cover to a wide range of activities outside stated US policy objectives. DynCorp is contracted to help eliminate drug production in Colombia. But a DEA document (see image), recently obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, stated that on May 12, 2000 the Colombian National Police intercepted a FedEx parcel at the airport. It was sent from the Bogota DynCorp site and destined for DynCorp's office on Patrick Air Force Base in Florida. The name of the sender has been blacked out. The 250 Gram liquid "tested positive for heroin," according to the DEA. "My understanding is that was a faulty test result," DynCorp spokesperson Wineriter told CorpWatch.

DynCorp is openly labeled "mercenary" by a hostile Colombian press, a charge they vigorously deny. A State Department official told CorpWatch that "mercenaries are used in war. This is counter-narcotics." But in Colombia, the line between the counter-insurgency and counter-narcotics has been blurred for many years. While it is true that Colombia now produces much of the cocaine used in the United States making it a target for the "war on drugs," Washington's policy objectives may go beyond drugs. The U.S. is also concerned about Colombia's more than 30-year long guerilla insurgency. Critics say that Plan Colombia is an expansion of Washington's involvement in counter-insurgency.

A hint of other U.S. policy aims is visible to anyone taking a commercial flight from Houston to Bogotá. Amongst the U.S. passengers, the embassy types, the businessmen and older ex-military types are easily recognizable. But those who stand out most are the young gringos with cocker-spaniel hairdos wearing blue jeans and sweatshirts with oil company logos inscribed on them. Increasing oil supplies is at the heart of Bush administration energy policy. And both U.S. presidential candidates during the 2000 elections had ties to major oil investments in Colombia. Al Gore's family owns shares in Occidental Petroleum and now-President George Bush has ties to Harken Energy Inc., of Houston, Texas.

According to Fernando Caicedo, a middle-aged, mustached, but sprightly guerilla commander interviewed in southern Colombia: "the gringos want to exploit the whole upper Amazon region, an area that includes parts of Colombia, Brazil, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela, known for its richness in black gold -- oil."

DynCorp's day to day operations are overseen by a secretive clique of officials in the State Department's Narcotic Affairs Section (NAS) and the State Department's Air Wing, a group that includes unreformed cold warriors and leftovers from the Central American wars of the 1980's. Working hand-in-hand with U.S. military officials, Narcotic Affairs is supposed to be part of the drug war only, running the fumigation operations against drug crops. But there are indications that it is also involved in the counter-insurgency. In areas that are targeted for fumigation by Narcotic Affairs, Colombian right-wing paramilitaries arrive, sometimes by military helicopter, according to a human rights worker living in the Putumayo who asked for anonymity. Members of these paramilitaries "clear the ground" so that the planes spraying herbicides, often piloted by Americans, are not shot at by angry farmers or insurgents.

"If we did not take control of zones ahead of the army, the guerrillas would shoot down their planes" said southern Colombia paramilitary leader, "Comando Wilson" last April. Many of these paramilitary forces have benefited from U.S.-financed military training in the Colombian Army. Their frequent apparent coordination with the Narcotic Affairs Section and their DynCorp employees, as well as with the Colombian Armed forces, raises the question of U.S. collaboration with "outsourced" death squads, a charge vehemently denied by U.S. officials.

Questions on Capitol Hill

The growing death toll around the use of contractors like DynCorp has caught the attention of U.S. lawmakers. In April, private forces under a CIA contract in Peru identified U.S. missionaries flying in a plane as suspected drug dealers. They notified the Peruvian Air Force which shot them down, killing a woman and her seven month old daughter. While there was speculation that DynCorp might be involved, the company vehemently denied the allegations. "DynCorp does not provide surveillance services under this program and was not involved in any manner in the incident that occurred in Peru," according to spokesperson Charlene A. Wheeless. The New York Times reports another company, Aviation Development, was responsible for the downing of the plane. Aviation Development works in the same areas of Colombia as DynCorp, mainly as an airborne intelligence gatherer under contract to the Central Intelligence Agency.

Moved to action by the incident, Rep. Janice Schakowsky, D-Ill, submitted the Andean Region Contractor Accountability Act H.R. 1591, "legislation that would prohibit U.S. funds from being used to contract with private military companies in the Andean region."

"U.S. taxpayers are unwittingly funding a private war with private soldiers," Schakowsky recently testified in Congress. "American taxpayers already pay $300 billion per year to fund the world's most powerful military. Why should they have to pay a second time in order to privatize our operations? How is the public to know what their tax dollars are being used for? If there is a potential for a privatized Gulf of Tonkin incident, then the American people deserve to have a full and open debate before this policy goes any farther."

"Are we outsourcing in order to avoid public scrutiny, controversy or embarrassment? Is it to hide body bags from the media and thus shield them from public opinion?" she asked. "Or is it to provide deniability because these private contractors are not covered by the same rules as active duty U.S. service persons."

As Schakowsky's bill winds its way through the bureaucracy on Capitol Hill, DynCorp continues to operate in Latin America free from public scrutiny or accountability.

AND we all ultimately are , although unwillingly, serving these control freaks of hell. We are all their little batteries. I have known all this most of my life, not all the details that AI has been compiling here on the forum, but the gist of all this ... been spooking on the all seeing eye for a long time, AI's been laying it out in spades for us, thanks for all your hard work.

This shit drives me nuts though... we are ultimately paying for this shit too and thats what really makes it hurt, not only is this evil but we are its servant.  I would be happy to just figure out a livable way of not helping them
