I'm going to interview later this week for a writing job with Raytheon....

[Wetzelbill]

I would be covering all of there special dinners and monthly meetings with guest speakers. If I get the job one of the first speakers I'll see with be John McCain.

All I can say is I'm not happy about his predetermination that Bush-Cheney did not manipulate pre-war WMD intelligence. I suppose I won't get a good chance to tell him I think he should recuse himself from the WMD Commission, huh?

At least McCain is stomachable. If they get Jon Kyl or John Shadegg to speak sometime I might throw up all over.

1. You'll have to perfect your poker face.

And you'll have to convince the interviewer that you are either apolitical or leaning to the right in order to get the job. Raytheon is a big time Bush* loving bunch of hawks!

2. wear a republican suit

and study the latest basketball scores to have a "friendly chat"
available that is non-political.

White shirt... raytheon "IS" the military-industrial complex. I
would not write about it on DU. They'll suspect you of treason
and you'll not be hired for no reason.

Congrats if you can get though the hoops, but that you have written
about it before-hand implies that you don't really want the job.
I respect that, i would not either... its really a slave shop...
prepare for lobootomy...

Raytheon is the nation's producer of the Tomahawk cruise missile. Each one costs $2 million. The company also makes the Paveway series of laser-guided bombs which are used in Afghanistan, and the 5,000-pound GBU-28 "Bunker Buster, the Pentagon's newest modified nuclear weapon.

Lockheed and possibly Raytheon stands to receive the lion's share of future space contracts because of Boeing's suspension for spying on Lockheed.

Richard Armitage, Deputy Secretary of State is president and partner of Armitage Assoc. LLP , was a Boeing consultant, a Raytheon consultant and an advisory board member. http://dc.indymedia.org/front.php3?article_id=45246&group=webcast

Sean O'Keefe, NASA Administrator was on a paid advisory board of Northrop Grumman, and Raytheon.

With the new money appropriated for homeland defense ($38 billion for FY 2003), virtually all of the big defense contractors — Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Raytheon have started hawking their products for use in domestic security.

Congressional contributors such as Hughes, Raytheon, TRW, Madison Research, Texas Instruments, Teledyne, Northrop-Grumman and Rockwell all have ongoing co-mingled defense and missile projects that requires them to work together on a contractor/subcontractor basis to develop their military projects.

In response to the call from some in the Clinton-era's Republican Congress for the rapid acceleration of national missile defense development, "leading to deployment of a defense system as soon as possible," the United Missile Defense Company (UMDC) was formed in 1997 as a joint venture; equally owned by Lockheed Martin, Raytheon and TRW. http://www.rand.org/publications/IP/IP181
