In-Q-Tel was formed by the CIA in 1999 with $300 million in federal
funds for about 90 companies. Spy-in-the-sky Keyhole, Inc., partially funded
by In-Q-Tel, was acquired by Google in 2004. Today Google shares satellites
with other contractors and takes pictures of your house. Their software is
the standard for geospatial intelligence, and they provide search software
to federal agencies. That's just one tiny example. Former NSA and CIA
directors, such as Kenneth Minihan, Bobby Ray Inman, Mike McConnell,
James Woolsey, John Deutch, and George Tenet, have been on the boards of
intelligence contractors. Those are just the top guys -- if you reach down
into the bureaucracy, the list gets much longer. The war on terrorism
increased federal spending on national security programs, and made such
close collaboration seem urgent and necessary.
