Is David Petraeus dirty? 
COL Ted Westhusing thought so and then shot himself.

Excerpt:
Thanks for telling me it was a good day until I briefed you. [Redacted name]--You are only interested in your career and provide no support to your staff--no msn [mission] support and you don't care. I cannot support a msn that leads to corruption, human right abuses and liars. I am sullied--no more. I didn't volunteer to support corrupt, money grubbing contractors, nor work for commanders only interested in themselves. I came to serve honorably and feel dishonored. I trust no Iraqi. I cannot live this way. All my love to my family, my wife and my precious children. I love you and trust you only. Death before being dishonored any more. Trust is essential--I don't know who trust anymore. [sic] Why serve when you cannot accomplish the mission, when you no longer believe in the cause, when your every effort and breath to succeed meets with lies, lack of support, and selfishness? No more. Reevaluate yourselves, cdrs [commanders]. You are not what you think you are and I know it.
COL Ted Westhusing
Life needs trust. Trust is no more for me here in Iraq.
What troubled Westhusing was not just the death and destruction all around him, the obvious looting of the country, and the human rights abuses, but the seeming lack of attention to the problem by his two of commanding officers, General Joseph Fil, and General David Petraeus. Yes, that David Petraeus.

Excerpt:
During 1922, Bush and his college roommate, Laurence K. Marshall, set up the American Appliance Company to market a device called the S-tube. This was a gaseous rectifier invented by C. G. Smith that greatly improved the efficiency of radios. Bush made much money from the venture. The company, renamed Raytheon, became a large electronics company and defense contractor.
Starting in 1927, Bush constructed a Differential Analyser, an analog computer that could solve differential equations with as many as 18 independent variables. An offshoot of the work at MIT was the beginning of digital circuit design theory by one of Bush's graduate students, Claude Shannon.

From Smith's memos and letters it became clear that Vannevar Bush was in charge of a highly secretive saucer group operating within Bush's Research and Development Board.

Excerpt:
Raytheon Company was founded in Cambridge, Mass., as the American Appliance Company in 1922, a pivotal time in American history. The first decade of modernism, the 1920s saw the advent of automobiles, radios and refrigerators. The electrical industry was extending power lines across the United States, and telephones were linking every hamlet and home. In the aftermath of World War I, the roaring '20s was a time of flappers and flasks, and the nation was in flux, disillusioned by the end of a bitter war that brought no real peace or economic security and energized by the prospects of modern technological advances. Emerging from the depths of a severe post-war depression that wiped out jobs and forged a widening chasm between the privileged and the poor was a breed of entrepreneurs with a driving ambition to succeed and willingness to gamble on it.
It is against this backdrop that the founders of Raytheon became business partners. Two former college roommates, Laurence K. Marshall and Vannevar Bush, formed the company with Charles G. Smith, a young scientist who had developed the prototype for a home refrigerator that used artificial coolants

Chapter 14—
Maintaining the Technological Lead
Mark L. Montroll
If, unhappily, there should be another war, there should be no need for another OSRD [Office of Scientific Research and Development]. It will be needed only if there is a large deficit of military research such as existed in 1940. With the experience of World War II behind them, our military leaders should not permit that to happen. But if it is not to happen, there should be more adequate research within the Services and a more adequate use made of civilian research by the Services in the years immediately ahead.
— Irvin Stewart,
Organizing Scientific Research for War, 1948
Throughout World War II, Vannevar Bush directed the immensely successful Office of Scientific Research and Development (OSRD). The agency was winding down when, in fall 1946, Bush articulated his startling observation:
World War II was the first war in human history to be affected decisively by weapons unknown at the outbreak of hostilities. This is probably the most significant military fact of our decade: that upon the current evolution of the instrumentalities of war, the strategy and tactics of warfare must now be conditioned. In World War II this new situation demanded a closer linkage among military men, scientists, and industrialists than had ever before been required, primarily because the new weapons whose evolution determines the course of war are dominantly the products of science, as is natural in an essentially scientific and technological age.1

Excerpt:
The following year, 1995, Raytheon bought E-Systems and all the APTI patents they held. That same year Congress budgeted $10 million for HAARP for FY 1996 under "Counterproliferation - Advanced Development" spending. In the FY 1997 Descriptive Summary of the Counterproliferation Advanced Development Budget HAARP appears under the sub-heading "Project P539 Counterforce." There it is recorded that "In FY96, Congress added $10 Million to be used for the High-Frequency Acoustic [sic] Auroral Research Program (HAARP) to this project." Elsewhere in that report it states "...in FY96 only, the Congressionally added HAARP program funds will be used to explore the ability of auroral transmissions to detect and locate underground structures of the type where WMD [Weapons of Mass Destruction] can be developed or stored."

E-Systems
“In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.”
- President Diwight D. Eisenhower’s farewell address
E-Systems (now owned by Raytheon) - which boasts an impressive bevy of former high-ranking CIA, NSA and DoD personnel - is a major government contractor allegedly involved in some very dirty business.[1]
Some of the people on E-Systems’ personnel roster include former NSA Director (and CIA Deputy Director) Admiral Bobby Ray Inman, former CIA Deputy Director Peter Moreno (Director of the Agency’s Technical Services Division), and former CIA Director Admiral W. F. Raborn, who also sits on the board of Wackenhut - a large quasi-governmental security/intelligence firm loaded with former CIA and FBI people - also reportedly involved in some highly questionable covert activities.
E-Systems’ CEO from 1989 to 1993, E. Gene Keiffer, a former Marine, was described as a “prominent figure among intelligence community contractors.[2]
E-Systems has collaborated with the U.S. intelligence community, including the military and the CIA, since 1947. As their press release states:
"A leader in systems integration, E-Systems business areas include reconnaissance and surveillance systems; specialized aircraft modification; command, control, and communications; electronic imaging; and other information-based technologies....”[3]

Excerpt:
Indicted Fox News host Colonel Oliver North, who was pardoned by George H. W. Bush which resulted in obstruction of justice, referred to E-Systems as “the company” in his testimony before Congress; but Bill McCoy called E-Systems the illegal shadow government within the government—a covert and ongoing system of black operations, drugs and weapons money-laundering via off-shore banks.McCoy possessed the documents to validate Bush shadow government connections to Mark Thatcher and E-Systems, and allowed federal whistleblower Stewart Webb to bring a copy machine into McCoy’s Fairfax, Virginia home to duplicate thousands of top secret documents and affidavits of living, deceased and assassinated U.S. intelligence, military and government whistleblowers, some evidence of which has already been provided to prosecutors.
Serious questions can be raised as to whether the Clinton-Crozier account was employed to facilitate the illegal use of American soldiers in an oil country coup attempt funded by stolen and laundered U.S. taxpayer dollars—and whether Congress is obstructing justice and covering up the operation.
Riggs Bank quickly paid the fine, but the House and Senate banking committees have failed in their oversight to probe the above links to 9-11, Valerie Plame, Riggs and Crozier Banks while federalizing what amounts to the counterfeiting of U.S. currency by the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank and declining to report the M 3 data on currency in circulation [as of March 23, 2006] which serves to covertly prop up the U.S. economy with Federal Reserve Cartel printing presses.

The weapons analyst said that NGIC purposely altered figures on the number of Russian helicopters in order to justify the Crusade gun system, which, the the time, was being built by United Defense, which, in turn, was owned by The Carlyle Group. After the analyst objected to the inflation by NGIC management of the numbers of working helicopters in Russia, he found himself subject to a security clearance investigation by US Investigations Services (USIS), a firm in which the Carlyle Group has a major financial stake, USIS's Iraq operations were under investigation by US Army Col.
