13. Off to the Greatest ye shall go.... As it should be
Edited on Wed Aug-01-07 09:49 PM by MagickMuffin
I was surfing around when I came across an interesting tidbit.

This was from an article about Robert Gates and his connection to Votehere Inc.

Gates' relationships with defense companies date to 1993, soon after he left government after 27 years in intelligence work. He joined the board of SAIC, which is a contractor for the Pentagon, CIA and other federal agencies. Gates' brief tenure came as the company weathered a Justice Department investigation into defense contract irregularities that it eventually settled for $2.5 million.

Gates later served on the advisory board for VoteHere, an electronic voting machine firm tied to SAIC, and on the boards of defense contractors TRW, now part of Northrop Grumann Corp., and the Massachusetts-based Charles Stark Draper Laboratory.

Now after reading this I realized just how involved the CIA and the Pentagon are working within our elections.

Whatda ya think?!?!?
