Hi all,

I found this article, and hope that giving a URL for it is worthy 
of the list members' time:
http://www.nytimes.com/2002/10/13/business/yourmoney/13MILI.html

Writer Leslie Wayne has laid out the role of OFF-budget military 
contractors, a topic for which I was blissfully unaware.  But I did note 
the names of several, and one, SAIC, was instrumental in the role 
of NSI becoming the profitable monopoly (for .com, .net and .org 
registrations) it became, prior to the well-intentioned but aborted 
gTLD-MoU movement, which was hosed off to become the ICANN 
process.

As well, Halliburton (Cheney) receives some mention, for its subsidiary, 
Kellogg Brown and Root, who I recall rejoiced at Johnson's becoming 
President, as they went from a small TEXAS building company to one of 
the world's top contractors, mainly through development of SE Asian 
bases ...

As the list is simmering, I thought I'd ask any for their ideas?

Cheers,
Drew

    Let us learn our lessons. Never, never, never 
    believe any war will be smooth and easy, or that 
    anyone who embarks on that strange voyage can 
    measure the tides and hurricanes he will 
    encounter. The statesman who yields to war fever 
    must realise that once the signal is given, he is 
    no longer the master of policy but the slave of 
    unforeseeable and uncontrollable events.
                                  Winston Churchill

    Throughout the centuries there were men who took
    first steps down new roads armed with nothing but
    their own vision.  Their goals differed, but they
    all had this in common:  That the step was first,
    the road new, the vision unborrowed, and the 
    response they received - hatred.   
    Ayn Rand
