Culture you can fix by willpower, not more money. They don't have to upset the apple cart with contractors. It is a one-day story with the White House."

Maar hoe de geheime fondsen tegenwoordig worden benut, is volgens Pike duister.

  12. Classified Spending On the Rise; Report: Defense to Get $23.2 Billion By Dan MorganThe Washington Post August 27, 2003 -- "It's puzzling.

Koprowski United Press International August 26, 2003 -- Lockheed Martin's key competitor is Boeing Co., said John Pike, a military analyst at GlobalSecurity.org, a think tank in Washington.

Lockheed, Boeing Vie for Bomb Contract Reuters August 26, 2003 -- The winning company will develop the final version of the new bomb, which is half the size of the smallest bomb the Air Force uses today but can penetrate six feet of reinforced concrete, like a much bigger 2,000-pound BLU-109, according to GlobalSecurity.org, a Virginia-based defense think tank.
  18. Report 'Won't Pull' Punches but May Sidestep Key Issues By Ralph Vartabedian and Peter Pae Los Angeles Times August 26, 2003 -- But Charles Vick, a senior space analyst for GlobalSecurity.org, voiced deep skepticism about the report, saying that the recommendations are likely to "fall short of what really needs to be done" and that many of the recommendations are likely to hit significant resistance from Congress and the White House.

Shuttles Risk May Remain By Kevin Spear and Jim Leusner Orlando Sentinel August 22, 2003 - "The answer to this is to go back and try to understand what you don't understand," said John Pike, director of GlobalSecurity.org, a space policy think tank.

Crawley San Diego Union-Tribune August 22, 2003 -- "It's an enormous step forward," said Patrick Garrett, an analyst with GlobalSecurity.org, an Alexandria, Va., think tank. (...)

"But building and detonating a truck bomb is not infantry  it's terrorism, and that takes a different type of training. There's a difference between an assassin who hopes to live and a suicide bomber who knows he will die."
  30. More Troops Needed, Analysts Insist By John Hendren and Chris Kraul Los Angeles Times August 20, 2003 -- The troops now on the ground are insufficient if anti-coalition forces continue going after nonmilitary targets, agreed Patrick Garrett, an analyst at GlobalSecurity.org of Alexandria, Va.
