1. The plot thickens...

[KoKo]

3. Did you have "advance notice?" You had his $250. contribution to Rand Paul

pretty quick. Are you an "insider?" That would be pretty cool to know. It's amazing how quick you got the info out about his donation.

We shall see how it all sorts out.

[nadinbrzezinski]

5. Open secrets

It's all there for federal ones

[KoKo]

17. Hey...I'm no slouch...I know how to use the "Internet" and "Open Secrets"

just thought that BS got the breaking news so fast that she immediately went to check out who he gave to. I thought it was very quick..

I'd probably have waited to read what Snowden said in the interview.

But, so quick for $250 Bucks seemed sort of a puny contribution...and I found it amusing.

[nadinbrzezinski]

20. Me too

I find the loyalty almost embarrassing and 2003ish in a way

[msanthrope]

8. Open Secrets is available on the Google for you, too. nt

[emulatorloo]

13. It is called "access to the Internet."

[KoKo]

25. Just explained above...I can use Internet...and have access

to "Open Secrets" also. Just thought that Babylon Sis...was quick to jump the gun.

Peace!

[babylonsister]

18. Excuse me? Rand Paul?? What are you talking about?

and

[KoKo]

26. Do you mean that it was Ron Paul that Edward Snowden gaver the 250 Bucks to?

[babylonsister]

30. What are you talking about? I would love to know! nt

[msanthrope]

2. Less than three months? nt

[B2G]

6. 3 months with that particular contract company

My understanding is that he was employed by the NSA for around 4 years under various contract companies...Dell among them.

[msanthrope]

10. This is going to be very interesting. nt

[B2G]

12. The contractor market is very competitive

It's not at all unusual for people to switch companies frequently as a means of job growth...many times that's the best way up you career ladder.

And companies are cut throat at recruiting...remember, they make a ton of money on each person in their employ. Especially those with a proven track record, established security clearance and a specialize skill set.

Which is how he was making 200K a year at the age of 29. He's obviously good at what he did.

[msanthrope]

16. Yes. Very good at what he does. Which is why I think this going to get

very, very interesting and those who are automatically lauding this man as a 'hero' might want to wait a bit.

[ProSense]

19. No doubt.

Hmmm, a defense contractor.

[msanthrope]

23. Prosense, I am old enough to remember that Bob Woodward was Naval Intelligence.

Or is Naval Intelligence, rather. The farthest Left is calling a defense contractor a hero? Oh, lordy, whoever thought this black-bag operation up must be pissing themselves laughing.

[AnalystInParadise]

21. ^^^This

Retired Army MI here, been retired over two years now. I have had three contracting jobs in two years. Each one paid more than the previous one. This is VERY common in our industry.

[jazzimov]

24. Former DELL employee? Oh, puh-leeze!

I've had to train plenty of former DELL employees. I finally had to tell my manager "NO! No former DELL employees!"

He was forced to agree with me - based on performance.

[nadinbrzezinski]

4. That is thickening

[G_j]

9. and I'm

starting to feel thick..

[kentuck]

22. Thick as a brick?

[treestar]

7. He's getting attention

Watch Julian come out with something to take advantage of this opportunity.

[OilemFirchen]

11. I wanna know more about his spyin' exploits!

Did he get to bang any hot Russian chicks?

[alcibiades_mystery]

15. I heard he was out in Vegas

like Fredo...ahem

"I knew it was you, Fredo! I knew it was you..."

[Octafish]

14. Won't be getting a bonus, it sounds like.

Warmongers.

a strategic tradition...

Know your BFEE: R. James Woolsey, Turd of War

[markiv]

27. many will now question having Booz in the workplace nt

[ananda]

29. Booz Allen...

I mean, you couldn't make up a name like that for a bizarre, goofy spy novel
like this one is in real life.

[wandy]

31. Three months? If Booz Allen is not lying about this. Three months?..............

If you have ever had the joy of bringing new QUALIFIED person on board in a complex computer environment. Much less than the kind of IT shops the NSA plays with.....
