Well their board has changed considerably since the last time I looked, maybe they got tired of being accused of being a front for the CIA. :-) The last time I held an annual report in my hands the entire board was made up of ex-military officers. Wasn't it originally founded by such officers? The taxpayers are not well served when there exists a revolving door between those who contract with and those who contract for services provided by SAIC. And they have a long history of providing IT services for the government that fail, like the recent FBI software fiasco. There's plenty to be suspicious of and dislike about SAIC. > > At 07:28 AM 2/15/2005 -0800, you wrote: >>On Tue, 15 Feb 2005 01:50:32 -0800 (PST), Neil Schneider >><[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> > >> > It's not a coincedence that the whole board of directors is all >> > retired high-ranking military officers, however. >> >>Good point.
