About R J Hillhouse

  • Dr. Hillhouse has run Cuban rum between East and West Berlin, smuggled jewels from the Soviet Union and slipped through some of the world’s tightest borders. From Uzbekistan to Romania, she's been followed, held at gunpoint and interrogated. Foreign governments and others have pitched her for recruitment as a spy. (They failed.)

    A former professor and Fulbright fellow, Dr. Hillhouse earned her Ph.D. in political science at the University of Michigan. Her latest novel, OUTSOURCED (Forge Books) is about the turf wars between the Pentagon and the CIA and the privatization of national security.

    Dr. Hillhouse is an expert on national security outsourcing. Her controversial work has twice elicited a formal response by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence--the only times that office has ever publicly responded to the writings of a private citizen.

    She is a regular media guest and available for interviews.

Gotta' love that top employment lawyer!

Just got one comment for this fag that wants to down warriors for coming back in service in the private sector for the military. Many of us have paid our dues to this nation of ours that we protect with pride and honor. Now that we have retired there is limited duty for us in the private sector because of being from the Special Operations Command. So I will just say this to Mr. Jeremy Shitknuckles and others that either do not know what we do other than listen to the news and they are often very misleading. Or they just want something to complain about, here is my comment to you.

There is a saying in the Special Operations Command and more so in the Teams (because you are not military I will explain) SEAL Teams. We do not say SEALs when we are speaking of ourselves, just the idiots outside looking in refer to us as such.

If you dont like what we in the Special Operations of the US Military Stand for. Then feel free to stand in front of us.

Speaking of cool spy novels, some time ago I read a good one titled "Cutout" by Francine Mathews. Apparently it recieved little attention but I couldn't put it down. P.S. Is it so wrong to want to lean over Chloe O'Brians shoulder and whisper dirty secrets? LMAO
