Pentagon Contract Awarded to Firm Employing Ex-Rumsfeld Aide

HeadlineJan 18, 2008

The Pentagon has awarded a multi-million-dollar contract to the intelligence firm Missions Solutions Group just two months after the company hired a former aide to ex-Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. The aide, Stephen Cambone, is a former undersecretary of defense for intelligence. Cambone established the Pentagon’s Counter-Intelligence Field Activity office — CIFA — the very same office that awarded his firm the contract. CIFA was previously involved in a Pentagon spy program that monitored the activities of peace activists.
