Spencer Ackerman of Danger Room takes Loren Thompson to task in this post: Defense Industry Shill: Give Lockheed Credit for Bin Laden Kill. We've debated Thompson's role around here before. Check out this take down: Thompson is a defense consultant for profit as well as a military analyst, an inherent conflict of interest. His writing, like that of Lexington’s, more broadly, consistently cheerleads for the defense industry. And it’s especially conspicuous that Thompson’s op-ed is published on the same day that Politico reports Lockheed Martin is threatening to throw thousands of people out of work before a presidential election unless Congress rolls back hundreds of billions of dollars in defense cuts that its failed deficit-reduction gambit teed up. Do you come down more on Ackerman's side or Thompson's? Or your own side altogether? ;-)
