In-Q-Tel

From 9/11 Encyclopedia:

In-Q-Tel is a private, non-profit enterprise funded by the CIA. Their mission is to identify and invest in cutting-edge information technology (IT) solutions that serve U.S. national security interests. In-Q-Tel operates bi-coastally with offices in northern Virginia and Silicon Valley. In 1998 the Director of Central Intelligence (DCI) called on private sector industry executives--led by former Lockheed Martin CEO Norman Augustine--to create and launch this new venture. In-Q-Tel was chartered in February 1999 under the leadership of the DCI and the Directorate of Science and Technology and with the support of the U.S. Congress. 

In 2002 In-Q-Tel included a 45-person staff and two strategic business teams, Technical and Venture, with a bi-coastal presence in Arlington, Virginia and Menlo Park, California. Rick E. Yannuzzi (Senior Deputy National Intelligence Officer for Strategic and Nuclear Programs in the National Intelligence Council/NIC) wrote in Winter 2000: "The origins of the concept that has become In-Q-Tel are traceable to Dr. Ruth David (->ANSER), a former CIA Deputy Director for Science and Technology. She and her Deputy, Joanne Isham, were the first senior Agency officials to understand that the information revolution required the CIA to forge new partnerships with the private sector and design a proposal for radical change."

Daniel D. Gupont wrote in August 2001 for Scientific American, that In-Q-Tel was now able to "tracking less visible technologies" and "it monitors what it call deal flows". In-Q-Tel 's venture arrangement with a small company called Safe Web brought Pricacy Matrix, "a 128-bit Internet encryption system, for the agency's use". In-Q-Tel has provided funds to bigger government contractors like Saic

CIA executive director Krongard said on August 1, 2001: "I think In-Q-Tel's a wonderful model...in accessing the capabilities of the private sector." Krongard is top suspect of an independent 911-insider trading investigation by Tom Flocco (->). (-> Insider Trading, 9/11 CIA) (-> Insider Trading, 911 FBI) Note: In a bizarre twist, former Pentagon employee Clark G. Fiester (Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Acquisition and Technology) and a personal friend of William Perry (former Secretary of State to Defense, who is listed on the board of In-Q-Tel), was aboard a C-21 Lear Jet which was either shot down or sabotaged near Maxwell Air Force Base in Alabama, on April 17th, 1995, or just two days before the attack on the A.P.
