Booz Allen Hamilton: Edward Snowden's US contracting firm

I wonder if Clapper will move back to a corner office at Booz Allen Hamilton when his time as DNI is done. There is no distinction between government and corporation any more. We have seen Fascism and it is US.

Booz Allen Hamilton, Edward Snowden's employer, is one of America's biggest security contractors and a significant part of the constantly revolving door between the US intelligence establishment and the private sector.

The current of director of national intelligence (DNI), James Clapper, who issued a stinging attack on the intelligence leaks this weekend, is a former Booz Allen executive. The firm's current vice-chairman, Mike McConnell, was DNI under the George W Bush administration. He worked for the Virginia-based company before taking the job, and returned to the firm after leaving it. The company website says McConnell is responsible for its "rapidly expanding cyber business".
