[Ed Jewett]

Wayne Madsen reports:

Science Applications International Corp., McLean, Va., was awarded on June 16 a
$9,040,949 cost-plus-fixed-fee contract. The award will provide for research in the detection of insider threats based on sensor data from routine activities of members of a group, and possibly social networks. Work will be performed in McLean, Va.; Amherst, Mass.; Corvallis, Ore.; Pittsburgh, Pa.; and Atlanta, Ga., with an estimated completion date of May 31, 2013. Bids were solicited through a broad agency announcement with seven bids received. The U.S. Army Contracting Command, Durham, N.C., is the contracting activity (W911NF-11-C-0088).

SAIC, eh?

Here piggie piggie, stick your amoral snout in this trough.

It's owned by the military-multinational-intelligence-complex, and its paid for by non-consenting taxpayers the world over.

Sourcewatch is a good starter for more on SAIC.

SAIC offers Open Source Intelligence Services for corporations in their brochure entitled Who's saying and doing what online.

This service is being offered in this fashion:
"Consider the risks. An angry customer's chat room gripe or blog can damage your reputation. Accidental public access to sensitive information from product plans to employee log-in codes is commonplace. Threatened attacks against Web sites, employees, and facilities are frequently aired online. Employee personal histories and "dirty laundry" are often public, and damaging."

So, when the paid SAIC disinformation entity finds this page, I have a question to ask.

Do you understand emoticons? :fullofit: :attention:
