In Brennan’s Private Sector Stint, a Chinese Connection

John Brennan, President Obama’s nominee to be director of the CIA, like many government employees took a three-year turn through the private sector before rejoining the administration \u2013 but it was nothing like the blandly profitable corporate stints of other federal bureaucrats.<\/p>\n

When Brennan went to work for a private intelligence contractor called The Analysis Corporation, he entered a murky milieu of transnational private spy firms with taxpayer-fueled profits. And he found himself working for a Ferrari-driving foreign boss who made much of his money on the dangerous streets of Iraq.<\/p>\n

In that world, Brennan was forced to deal with a situation he would never have faced in his earlier days at the CIA: Brennan’s corporate parent was looking for lucrative contracts from Chinese state-owned companies at the same time Brennan’s unit worked on sensitive US intelligence issues in Washington.<\/p>\n

In 2005, between stints as a high-ranking CIA officer and one of the Obama Administration’s top homeland security and counterterrorism experts, Brennan went to work for the little-known Virginia government contracting firm known as The Analysis Corporation. In a convoluted corporate structure, that company was already owned by another entity, and, in 2007, would be snapped up by yet a third firm. During that time, Brennan became an employee in a subsidiary of a London-based security firm controlled by a holding company based in Luxembourg.<\/p>\n

According to a corporate document filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Brennan was given a compensation package at The Analysis Corporation worth more than $750,000 in 2008, one of just over three years he spent at the McLean, Va., based company. That’s not an enormous salary by corporate standards, but it would have been a lot more than the top range of the federal government’s senior executive service that guides CIA pay, which tops out at around $200,000 per year.<\/p>\n

Federal contracting documents aren’t much help, either: One contract with the Federal Acquisition Service worth up to $42 million is described as being for “ADP Facility Management” and “Other Computer Related Services.”<\/p>\n

And it boasted that “Fuzzy Finder” in particular had been “continuously operational within the government” since the software was written, and “has been a very effective tool for finding the names of suspected or known terrorists in various databases.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
