I've been a supporter of pointing this stuff out, re: private intelligence contractors, but give me a break, now the centrist surveillance state backers are going to infowars and alex jones to try and "smear" Snowden by association to this admittedly shitty and most likely "evil to it's core" company.... Now they want to bring up the expediency of privatizing our intelligence industry but only to smear, not to discuss it in the larger context. Always..... to smear.

Jaw-dropping post. Over the years I've seen Dov Zakheim's name mentioned snagglepuss Jun 2013 #1

Yep Dov Zakheim was one of Romney's senior "Foreign Policy Advisors" TakeALeftTurn Jun 2013 #3

Fantastic post. Thank you. liberal_at_heart Jun 2013 #4

I've been working on it for a few days since it came out how Booze were involved TakeALeftTurn Jun 2013 #10

And you couldn't come up with a better link to the Guardian's article than FREEREPUBLIC? KittyWampus Jun 2013 #17

That's all you got? Get a brain. chimpymustgo Jun 2013 #38

So are you the author? maddezmom Jun 2013 #28

So youre Tommy Paine from the Daily Paul? bunnies Jun 2013 #39

Nope TakeALeftTurn Jun 2013 #45

"I've been working on it for a few days since it came out how Booze were involved" bunnies Jun 2013 #49

I have been researching Booze Allen for a few months off and on TakeALeftTurn Jun 2013 #75

So, Tommy Paine stole your article & posted it verbatim? bunnies Jun 2013 #77

Nope TakeALeftTurn Jun 2013 #79

cool story, bro. bunnies Jun 2013 #81

So you've never talked about a political story with other people? TakeALeftTurn Jun 2013 #88

You should just quit while youre ahead. bunnies Jun 2013 #97

You are still trying to deflect from the issue at hand - the interconnections between Booze TakeALeftTurn Jun 2013 #93

No. Im scrutinizing the source. bunnies Jun 2013 #98

Maybe you should check out James Woolsey some more TakeALeftTurn Jun 2013 #94

Maybe you should check out the Jamestown Foundation and Graham Fuller some more TakeALeftTurn Jun 2013 #96

Those taking issue with your post can't present any facts to counter the facts detailed in the OP. snagglepuss Jun 2013 #110

unfortunately, since the poster took it verbatim from an alex jones site & since free republic, HiPointDem Jun 2013 #130

so you're 'tommy paine'? really disingenuous of you. HiPointDem Jun 2013 #123

Infowars and the "Daily Paul Liberty Forum": ucrdem Jun 2013 #126

Dov Zakheim Whisp Jun 2013 #5

Good to see you went all Alex Jones on Bill Clinton KittyWampus Jun 2013 #6

I report documented facts TakeALeftTurn Jun 2013 #7

It's called guilt by association. Or smearing. KittyWampus Jun 2013 #14

what happens when you make three left turns? snooper2 Jun 2013 #25

make no left turns un-stoned. This thread is my new "chew-toy" KittyWampus Jun 2013 #27

Nice one! nt 99th_Monkey Jun 2013 #101

where's the alex jones link, please? if it ain't there, why mention jones unless to smear the HiPointDem Jun 2013 #9

It's called guilt by association. Or smearing a Democrat. KittyWampus Jun 2013 #12

what you're doing too. with less evidence. if the claim about clinton is false, rebut it. HiPointDem Jun 2013 #19

I included all the links where I got the info from TakeALeftTurn Jun 2013 #15

Good to see you use FreeRepublic as a source. KittyWampus Jun 2013 #16

Shooting the messenger. How lame is that. The freeper was simply quoting a Guardian article. snagglepuss Jun 2013 #18

When I quote a Guardian article, I link to the Guardian. Not FreeRepublic. KittyWampus Jun 2013 #20

LOL god this place has changed... snooper2 Jun 2013 #26

You think whale.to is a credible source? maddezmom Jun 2013 #40

What information is wrong? Are the people listed not employed by Booz? snagglepuss Jun 2013 #105

I was speaking to his comment they were credible sources maddezmom Jun 2013 #108

Nothing I read on line is taken as the word of god. What's good about DU if that if snagglepuss Jun 2013 #113

It's on Alex Jones' website, quoted here verbatim. Lone_Star_Dem Jun 2013 #32

Of course the original is from Daily Paul maddezmom Jun 2013 #35

Oh, that's a much more reliable source for DU. Lone_Star_Dem Jun 2013 #37

no. pretty disingenuous of the poster, in that case. HiPointDem Jun 2013 #124

Skinner just banned them. Lone_Star_Dem Jun 2013 #125

big kr. HiPointDem Jun 2013 #8

Great post jsr Jun 2013 #11

Some pretty sketchy sites you site maddezmom Jun 2013 #21

Same 'stuff' is posted here as well - HappyMe Jun 2013 #22

Nice find. It smelled like that kind of crap. Sad the OP takes credit for other's 'work'. KittyWampus Jun 2013 #24

You seem just like Peter King & Lindsey Graham TakeALeftTurn Jun 2013 #30

So you are TommyPaine? maddezmom Jun 2013 #33

The problem may be the message comes from a notorious conspiracy theorist. Lone_Star_Dem Jun 2013 #36

lol! HappyMe Jun 2013 #53

Well, I can't take credit for the research. HappyMe Jun 2013 #31

Yup ismnotwasm Jun 2013 #48

She's always been wicked good at that sort of stuff. Lone_Star_Dem Jun 2013 #57

This is RW bullshit of epic proportions. HappyMe Jun 2013 #59

The OP has most definitely hung out their dirty laundry for all to see here. Lone_Star_Dem Jun 2013 #66

the problem is that the information is largely correct. booz is, for example, part of the carlyle HiPointDem Jun 2013 #127

Fair enough. Lone_Star_Dem Jun 2013 #132

i agree completely. why would someone use hate sites when the same information is available HiPointDem Jun 2013 #134

Great post. It ties together a lot of facts that have been floating around here but not connected. byeya Jun 2013 #23

If we know what's good for us, we'd better be outraged about the issues raised Waiting For Everyman Jun 2013 #29

Funny ismnotwasm Jun 2013 #34

Hmmmmm..... greatauntoftriplets Jun 2013 #43

That was general my take on him as well ismnotwasm Jun 2013 #47

And, the new face of DU? Lone_Star_Dem Jun 2013 #51

You can rest assured that I will never start spouting Ron Paul crap! greatauntoftriplets Jun 2013 #54

Indeed! To quote our very own EarlG, "Fuck Ron Paul!" Lone_Star_Dem Jun 2013 #55

I'm a fan of the truth, who ever happens to be saying it 99th_Monkey Jun 2013 #80

well, the truth is out there. Why can't it be on infowars? KittyWampus Jun 2013 #87

Because a platoon of self-appointed DU THought Police will torch you, that's why. 99th_Monkey Jun 2013 #100

You have the audacity to start a thread whining about guilt by association but that's exactly what KittyWampus Jun 2013 #120

Because the views of teabagging conspiracy whack-jobs are not welcome here. bunnies Jun 2013 #104

Thank you!!! maddezmom Jun 2013 #109

Couldnt agree more. bunnies Jun 2013 #115

Why not find it on Democtratic sources? ismnotwasm Jun 2013 #121

Exactly what information that has been posted is inorrect? snagglepuss Jun 2013 #107

As Ive said already... bunnies Jun 2013 #112

For continued attack on the messenger is a lame attempt to deflect fromt he message. snagglepuss Jun 2013 #114

I refuse to reduce myself to entertaining bunnies Jun 2013 #117

The OP is simply a list of people connected to Booz. Why wouldn't that be of interest to you? snagglepuss Jun 2013 #122

The post was not either not written by the OP ismnotwasm Jun 2013 #71

I can prove that the OP is a liar. bunnies Jun 2013 #76

The OP or the facts. zeemike Jun 2013 #90

OK now I read through the thread to see what the deal is. zeemike Jun 2013 #82

Im not going to waste my time researching words of a liar. bunnies Jun 2013 #86

Then I suggest ismnotwasm Jun 2013 #89

So what infomation in the post is wrong? Are the wrong people listed? snagglepuss Jun 2013 #106

it doesn't matter when the sources are suspect. i wonder why the poster chose to use those HiPointDem Jun 2013 #131
