So who's looking out for your rights, overseeing the Treasury department and CIA's financial data mining? That's right, prime government contractor Booz Allen Hamilton, who, in the words of a
Treasury spokesman, "...have found consistently the government is not abusing this data."
And who is this firm? According to the Washington Post
When President Bush wonders whether the Pentagon should take over the CIA's paramilitary functions, Booz Allen Hamilton is the company that the Pentagon turns to for an answer (the company concluded that the spy agency should keep its paramilitary force). When the Air Force wants to study how best to get information from a battleground to a fighter jet, it turns to Booz Allen Hamilton with the $9 billion job. With such clients, Booz Allen, which marked its 90th anniversary last year, is mum about much of its business.
Well, I feel better. Kinda like Halliburton/KBR consulting on government waste and finding everything copacetic. Sheesh.
