from the USA Today article:
Dr. Richard Saccone, a retired Air Force captain who served as
a counterintelligence consultant in Iraq, teaches international relations at Saint Vincent College in Pennsylvania.

a counterintelligence consultant working for whom? what company? doing what?
I don't think he's been at St. Vincent that long ... the link to his CV doesn't work

St. Vincent is headed by former Bu$h malAdmin, faith-based director, Jim Towey, 2002-2006. Wonder if he brought Saccone on board?

http://www.stvincent.edu/news_stories/news_stories/dr.-richard-saccone-awarded-academic-fellowship-for-terrorism-prevention-studies-in-israelThe Foundation for the Defense of Democracies (FDD),
a non-partisan policy institute headquartered in Washington, D.C., has named Dr. Richard Saccone, Assistant Professor of Political Science at Saint Vincent College, as an Academic Fellow for 2006.
The Fellowship enabled Dr. Saccone to travel to Israel for
an intensive course in terrorism studies and to study how democracies can defeat the worldwide terrorist threat.
“Terrorism is the greatest threat today to the world’s democracies, including the United States and our allies around the globe,” said Clifford May, President of FDD. “To win the war against terrorism, we must win the war of ideas by promoting democracy and defeating the totalitarian ideologies that drive and justify terrorism.”
The FDD Academic Fellows program provides a 10-day learning experience to U.S.-based teaching and research professionals to provide them with cutting edge information about defeating terrorist groups. The 2006 program, which is being conducted at Tel Aviv University from May 27 to June 7, includes lectures by academics, military and intelligence officials, as well as diplomats from Israel, Jordan, India, Turkey and the United States. It also includes “hands on” experience through visits to police, customs, and immigration facilities, military bases, and border zones to learn the practical side of deterring and defeating terrorists.
Dr. Saccone teaches courses on International Relations, Comparative Politics, National Government and International Management in the Alex G. McKenna School of Business, Economics, and Government. He also teaches a course on Global Terrorism.
Dr. Saccone said that he was very much looking forward to the opportunity to listen and participate in the exchanges and interactions in Israel. "It should be a useful experience for a course I will to teach on International Terrorism next year and other related academic activities,” he commented.
