Rumsfeld adviser to join BofA

[Robbien]

Larry Di Rita, a close adviser to Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, is leaving the Pentagon to take a senior communications post with Bank of America Corp. in Charlotte.

Di Rita will be communications executive for BofA's global corporate and investment bank, starting this month.


A former Navy officer and analyst at the Heritage Foundation, Di Rita was among Rumsfield's first hires in February 2001. His duties have included special projects, media relations and frequent squash matches with Rumsfield, according to the Washington Times.

Among his key jobs has been defending Rumsfield's handling of the U.S. military action in Iraq, particularly after several retired generals last month called for the defense secretary's resignation.

. . .

He's the second high-profile federal employee to join BofA this month. Chris Swecker, the third-highest-ranking executive at the Federal Bureau of Investigation, is joining the bank in July as head of corporate security.

2. Glad I dumped BofA

I belong to a BofA family. Everyone has accounts there, several people work there. Several years ago I dropped BofA after the whole Boy Scouts incident and was there ever hell to pay in my family over it. The more I've heard about BofA in recent years, since it was sold off to that North Carolina outfit, or wherever it is, the more I'm so glad I took my money elsewhere when I did.

3. I would pull out of B of A if I were there. military connection?

military equals citizen data? big thefts of data in the past from B of A - did they go to the Pentagon? b of a took over mbna - mbna maryland company - both md dem senators supported mbna by voting for bankruptcy bill.

so tightly knit and wound -

are you waiting to hear what the new revelations are - think first about which corporations are involved and what there other connections have been

be ahead of the historians
