Following-up on your excellent Romas/COIN research, I've just published a piece "Security Grifters Partner-Up on Sinister Cyber-Surveillance Project," on
Antifascist Calling. During the course of writing that piece, and going through the HBGary emails, I discovered that TASC executives' recommendation to contact "Alterion" was in all likelihood a typo, and they meant the UK-based firm "Alterian" which actually produced the SM2 social media monitoring tool referred to in their email. Additionally, a 2010 press release from Alterian mentions the partnership they forged with the Dubai-based SocialEyez firm. I also provided additional information on another "partner" Barr and his friends were interested in bringing into the HBGary Federal/TASC "recompete," the ultra-spooky and truly dangerous company Archimedes Global.
Please feel free, if you choose, to publish my piece on the Echelon 2 web site. I've included an HTML version.
