520    Running spy networks overseas. Tracking down terrorists in
       the Middle East. Interrogating enemy prisoners. Analyzing 
       data from spy satellites and intercepted phone calls. All 
       of these are vital intelligence tasks that have 
       traditionally been performed by government officials 
       accountable to Congress and the American people. But that 
       is no longer the case.Starting during the Clinton 
       administration, when intelligence budgets were cut 
       drastically and privatization of government services 
       became national policy, and expanding dramatically in the 
       wake of 9/11, when the CIA and other agencies were 
       frantically looking to hire analysts and linguists, the 
       intelligence community has been relying more and more on 
       corporations to perform sensitive tasks heretofore 
       considered to be exclusively the work of federal 
       employees. This outsourcing of intelligence activities is 
       now a $50 billion-a-year business that consumes up to 70 
       percent of the U.S. intelligence budget. And it's a 
       business that the government has tried hard to keep under 
       wraps.Drawing on interviews with key players in the 
       intelligence-industrial complex, contractors' annual 
       reports and public filings with the government, and on-the
       -spot reporting from intelligence industry conferences and
       investor briefings, Spies for Hire provides the first 
       behind-the-scenes look at this new way of spying. Shorrock
       shows how corporations such as Booz Allen Hamilton, 
       Lockheed Martin, SAIC, CACI International, and IBM have 
       become full partners with the CIA, the National Security 
       Agency (NSA), and the Pentagon in their most sensitive 
       foreign and domestic operations. He explores how this 
       partnership has led to wasteful spending and how it 
       threatens to erode the privacy protections and 
       congressional oversight that is so important to American 
       democracy.Shorrock exposes the kinds of spy work the 
       private sector is doing, such as interrogating prisoners 
       in Iraq, managing covert operations, and collaborating 
       with the NSA to eavesdrop on Americans' overseas phone 
       calls and e-mails. And he casts light on a "shadow 
       intelligence community" made up of former top intelligence
       officials who are now employed by companies that do this 
       spy work, such as former CIA directors George Tenet and 
       James Woolsey. Shorrock also traces the rise of Michael 
       McConnell from his days as head of the NSA, to being a top
       executive at Booz Allen Hamilton, to returning to 
       government as the nation's chief spymaster.From CIA covert
       actions to NSA eavesdropping, from Abu Ghraib to 
       Guantanamo, from the Pentagon's techno-driven war in Iraq 
       to the coming global battles over information dominance 
       and control of cyberspace, contractors are doing it all. 
       Spies for Hire goes behind today's headlines to highlight 
       how private corporations are aiding the growth of a new 
       and frightening national surveillance state.
