Hi Barrett

Is very good and interesting. I just slightly lost the thread and missed the punchline in the last par or two. I've done a bit of slightly speculative rewriting, which may or may not capture your meaning -- as perhaps your condensed too much to try and come in at my desired wordlength. So I've unpacked it a bit, but not necessarily as you would want. I also wanted to weave reference to the drone virus back in -- the piece's starting premise. Excuse the html, but have a look at this and see if I've read you right.

I'll aim to post tomorrow now, so get back to me overnight please if you can.

Best, Matt

<a href=http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2011/10/virus-hits-drone-fleet/>On Friday, Wired revealed</a> that a virus of unknown origin has been consistently tracking the remote piloting of US military drones down to each keystroke, and that attempts to remove the intrusion have failed. Although the origin and intent of this virus remain unknown, with military analysts positing that it may be typical malware rather than a successful espionage bid, the incident provides the media with a practical opportunity to finally start examining the processes that determine our republics ability to protect itself from foreign cyber threats. That examination needs to focus on a particular system of the sort that is most dangerous to any republic a system that grows ever more consequential while remaining largely invisible even to those who are charged with overseeing it.

Even most members of Congress are unaware of the extent to which both the military and intelligence community have come to depend on private contractors to provide the software and ingenuity necessary for both conventional and information warfare in the 21st century. In 2005, experts estimated that 30% of the US intelligence budget was being outsourced, and this intelligence contracting industry has grown markedly since.

On the surface, this practice makes sense; the modern military tends not to attract sufficient technical talent for its needs, and in a few notable cases, the once-legendary hackers who run crucial firms have felony convictions that would prevent them from doing equivalent work from inside the state. Meanwhile, competition for projects promotes the incubation of new and more powerful capabilities from within the industry, and the bidding system ensures that the US gets the best of these for the least money at least, in theory.

But as evidenced by the drone virus affair and other, more serious incidents, the overall contracting process is deeply flawed. The free market competition for contracts that would otherwise bring gains is corrupted by the industrys thorough overlap with its state customers. Former Department of Homeland Security head Michael Chertoff joined the board of directors of contractor BAE Systems ahead of that firm being awarded a $270m contract last week, followed by <a href=http://www.daytondailynews.com/business/bae-systems-awarded-67-8-million-army-contract-1264979.html>another US Army contract for $67m</a>; before bringing on the well-connected ex-secretary, the firm was <a href=http://www.marketwatch.com/story/kazakhmys-shares-advance-in-lackluster-london-2009-08-27>becoming notorious for losing such crucial business</a>.

A glance at the boards and executive listings of similar firms, replete with former military officers and government officials, reveals the revolving door that connects potential clients with a state customer for which money is no object, such money being taxed from an electorate too distracted by other offenses to notice. Of course, Americas penchant for overspending on defense would be more defensible if it received what it paid for. The revelations regarding the failure of <a href=http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11854311/ns/world_news-mideast_n_africa/t/memo-halliburton-failed-purify-gis-water/>Halliburton</a>, <a href=http://wiki.echelon2.org/wiki/Mantech>Mantech</a> and other state-intertwined contractors to provide invoiced services to troops have been so endless as almost to be discounted, rather than add to the popular outrage.

This familiar tendency on the part of the US government to spend money it doesnt have on things it doesnt get is now directed at developing procedures it shouldnt use. The intelligence contracting industry, which includes firms that provide security applications to the entire US government and military, has been encouraged lately to direct more of its collective time and capabilities to the task of monitoring, misinforming and sometimes outright attacking American citizens and others abroad and benefit from the protection of the state and the incompetence of the media in order to make such attacks with impunity.

<a href=http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/cifamerica/2011/feb/17/wikileaks-internet>The Team Themis affair</a>, which united three such firms to go after journalists, activists and WikiLeaks was revealed by Anonymous earlier this year thanks to the seizure of 70,000 emails from coordinating firm HBGary Federal. The little-known and sinister <a href=http://wiki.echelon2.org/wiki/Persona_management>persona management</a> capability a state-sponsored sockpuppet propaganda program has been found in widespread development; the National Security Agency-linked <a href=http://www.echelon2.org/wiki/Endgame_Systems>Endgame Systems</a> has been revealed to offer comprehensive offensive cyber capabilities, with targets in place, to customers other than the US government; a few months ago, I released a report on a worrying surveillance apparatus known as <a href=http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/cifamerica/2011/jun/22/hacking-anonymous>Romas/COIN</a>.

The shift from infrastructure defense to surveillance and offensive capability comes in the wake of the <a href=http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2010/01/operation-aurora/>Chinese-orchestrated Aurora attacks</a> against US state and corporate targets an operation that continues to reveal itself as even more damaging than initially thought as additional targets admit theft of crucial data. The problem with the changing priorities of the US's cyber-contractor complex are two-fold: by neglecting government systems' vulnerabilities and the drone virus provides a perfect instance the state loses face with adversaries, real or potential, who respect only force; and by treating its own citizenry as the leading threat to its security, it loses the loyalty of those who respect truth and the rule of law.

The shift from infrastructure defense to comes in the wake of the Chinese-orchestrated Aurora attacks against U.S. state and corporate targets - a campaign that reveals itself to have been more successful as additional targets admit theft of crucial data. But beyond the vulnerabilities, it is part and parcel of a dynamic whereby the state loses face among those who respect force and loses loyalty among those who respect truth.

Actually, yes; the intelligence contracting industry is where the capabilities that would minimize these things are supposed to be developed, but there's been a shift in focus and resources to more deleterious "cyber" capabilities. One of the things that's exposed in the HBGary e-mails is a more accurate and damning account of how much was taken by the Chinese in the Aurora attacks a few years ago. You want 800 words?

Pivoting completely here what do you think of this story?

Could this in fact be the work of a hacker? V interested if you feel you have any useful commentary on this to make.

How much coverage this would receive would depend in part on who's coming to me with interview questions on a given week plus other random factors related to the coverage I receive, but could be improved with some coordination on my end of things. Now, there are other specific firms and issues we could pursue that would result in something more "revelatory" if you had a journalist looking into it, but I'm not sure that such things wouldn't likewise be deemed inside baseball by your colleagues. Nor would something like that necessarily receive more coverage - Romas COIN didn't make a whole lot of waves in US media initially, less than many simple statements I've given to press in the past (although it's gradually receiving more coverage now and will spark plenty once the book comes out). So, all in all, going with Palantir now as you suggest would probably be worthwhile, and then as I continue writing manuscript over next four months, I imagine I could think of something that could be pursued with assured effect by your news people.

Hi Barrett

I think my news colleagues felt this was a bit 'inside baseball', but if you wanted to write about what you've found out and get it out there, I'd be happy for you to tell the story in a comment piece; but are you anticipating this leading to any consequences -- further executive sackings etc? ie, will it likely make news of its own accord, in due course?

I think I'd better leave the Values Voters Summit, I'm afraid, because it might trespass on our political blogger's patch.

Something else that occurs to me - when Palantir, HBGary, and Berico had their Team Themis corporate espionage org discovered, Palantir apologized and let go one employee, Matthew Steckman, who was involved, and whom Palantir claimed to have acted without authority. But we've discovered that half a dozen other employees were also involved, and the firm's general counsel Matt Long himself signed off on paperwork related to the conspiracy against greenwald, wikileaks, etc. The claim by execs at the firm that they didn't know about any of this is now clearly false. Let me know if an investigation into this interests you.

thanks, Barrett -- I think you could weave a comment piece around that bit of revolving-door mutual back-scratching, but it doesn't sound like an outright scandal and news story in its own right

we might have to be patient on the news front; but I'll happily post a comment piece whenever

Last week, Michael Chertoff spoke at the annual Palantir Government Conference. He's also on the board at BAE Systems. Both firms have ties to HBGary, and of course Palantir was involved in the Team Themis conspiracy. And BAE just won a major contract with the DHS, Chertoff's old agency. This is just a thought, though; I'll think about which other issue would yield most if scrutinized by your reporters and get back to you soon.

Yo-

So, regarding a piece on the intelligence contracting industry, would you like a general piece highlighting the problem with specific examples from our research, or is there a particular aspect/angle you'd want? I do want to spend a paragraph or two noting how poorly most media have done in pursuing the issue. Speaking of which, thanks again for letting me announce the Romas/COIN report in Guardian; we just signed (this is secret for now) a $200,000 advance deal on a book on Anonymous which will include more on that and related issues, and so there's finally going to be sufficient attention to the general subject next year.

I'm actually in town for the bidding on book I'm doing with gregg housh on anonymous; ny observer found out yesterday and broke the story. Otherwise I'm still concentrating mostly on the intelligence contracting industry investigation (looking at things similar to Romas/COIN), some of which will go into the book, some of which I'll be releasing in media interviews, articles, etc.
