# The Global Intelligence Files

On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

confirms BW, though not sure what exactly they were doing (probably
security, and if so they definitely failed that job). Like or dislike
Scahill's position (or what comes of his work), he does an amazing job
outing them.
That brings room count to 17 people plus bomber.

Subject: [OS] US/AFGHANISTAN/PAKISTAN/CT- Blackwater and the Khost
Bombing: Is the CIA Deceiving Congress?
Blackwater and the Khost Bombing: Is the CIA Deceiving Congress?
By Jeremy Scahill
January 6, 2010
http://www.thenation.com/doc/20100111/scahill2
A leading member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence
has told The Nation that she will launch an investigation into why two
Blackwater contractors were among the dead in the December 30 suicide
bombing at the CIA station at Forward Operating Base Chapman in Khost,
Afghanistan. "The Intelligence Committees and the public were led to
believe that the CIA was phasing out its contracts with Blackwater and now
we find out that there is this ongoing presence," said Illinois Democrat
Jan Schakowsky, chair of the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations,
in an interview. "Is the CIA once again deceiving us about the
relationship with Blackwater?"
n in Afghanistan means a surge in contractors, which means that thousands
more Afghans will be hired to work at US bases, guard US installations and
participate in US training programs.
In December, the CIA announced that the agency had canceled its contract
with Blackwater to work on the agency's drone bombing campaign in
Afghanistan and Pakistan and said Director Leon Panetta ordered a review
of all existing CIA contracts with Blackwater. "At this time, Blackwater
is not involved in any CIA operations other than in a security or support
role," CIA spokesman George Little said December 11.
But Schakowsky said the fact that two Blackwater personnel were in such
close proximity to the December 30 suicide bomber--an alleged double
agent, who was reportedly meeting with CIA agents including the agency's
second-ranking officer in Afghanistan when he blew himself up--shows how
"deeply enmeshed" Blackwater remains in sensitive CIA operations,
including those CIA officials claim it no longer participates in, such as
intelligence gathering and briefings with valuable agency assets. The two
Blackwater men were reportedly in the room for the expected briefing by
the double agent, Humam Khalil Muhammed Abu Mulal al-Balawi, who claimed
to have recently met with Al Qaeda leader Ayman al Zawahiri.
"It's just astonishing that given the track record of Blackwater, which is
a repeat offender endangering our mission repeatedly, endangering the
lives of our military and costing the lives of innocent civilians, that
there would be any relationship," Schakowsky said. "That we would continue
to contract with them or any of Blackwater's subsidiaries is completely
unacceptable."
Under the Obama administration, Blackwater continues to work for the
Department of Defense, the State Department and, as evidenced by the
December 30 bombing, the CIA in Afghanistan. The company even maintains
its own forward operating bases in Afghanistan, including one along the
Afghanistan-Pakistan border. "This is the closest base to the [Pakistani]
border," Blackwater's owner Erik Prince recently bragged to Vanity Fair.
"Who else has built a fob along the main infiltration route for the
Taliban and the last known location for Osama bin Laden?"
Blackwater has been working for the CIA since at least April 2002. Prince
recently claimed he was personally a CIA asset, conducting clandestine
black operations around the globe. In June, Leon Panetta reportedly told
Congress he had canceled the CIA assassination program involving
Blackwater.
While the CIA said in December that Blackwater only continues its security
and support role for the CIA, NBC News reported that the Blackwater men
were not doing security at the time of the blast. The two Blackwater
operatives killed in the bombing have been identified as Jeremy Wise, a
35-year old ex-Navy SEAL, and 46-year-old Dane Clark Paresi.
