Excerpts:

"journalists, activists, and corporate researchers will be able to use
the Internet site SpiesForHire.org to track the nation’s most
important intelligence contractors."

"But there's a big piece missing from the national debate about
spying: the role of private intelligence contractors. After journalist
Tim Shorrock’s 2008 investigation, U.S. officials confirmed that 70
percent of the U.S. intelligence budget goes directly to private
companies working under contract to the CIA, the NSA, and other
agencies. With the U.S. intelligence budget estimated at $60 billion a
year, the outsourced business of intelligence is a $45 billion annual
industry."

"Halliburton’s lucrative Iraqi reconstruction contracts, CACI
International’s civilian interrogators at Abu Ghraib, and Blackwater’s
(now Xe) shooting of noncombatants in Baghdad—to name a few. Less well
known is U.S. contractor involvement in Latin America, for example in
executing the U.S. war on drugs in countries like Colombia.

This site will, for the first time, expose the size and scope of the
private sector’s influence on U.S. intelligence agencies—and the
government’s unsettling efforts to hide the facts."   .... but we have
lot of information about the channels they use including 'NGOs',
'voluntary non political organizations', 'political ones',
'corporates' and of course 'mercenaries' to subvert and tame third
world countries including India.
