[Peace-discuss] SAIC

[Margaret E. Kosal]

List folk -

i'm seeking intelligence w/r/t Science Applications International 
Corporation (SAIC), http://www.saic.com.
i attended a talk (bioweapons) by one of their guys (Wash DC office) in the 
Ag school last week. The speaker impressed me as slimy.  The talk was heavy 
on propaganda and specious spin, light on data and devoid of science - it 
was "not a science talk but on the sociology of bioterrorism as it relates 
to protecting Agri-business."

SAIC is attempting to start a commercial project here in CU area; the 
purpose of the presentation was to solicit support financial and otherwise 
from the U of I, the CU community and IL Agri-business.

If anyone has data or knows of information related to SAIC's practices and 
history from progressive &/or non-corporate sources, i would very much 
appreciate hearing it.

Thankx!
