Andrew Marshall - SourceWatch: "Andrew W. Marshall, 'the Pentagon's 81-year-old futurist-in-chief, fiddles with his security badge, squints, looks away, smiles, and finally speaks in a voice that sounds like Gene Hackman trying not to wake anybody. Known as Yoda in defense circles, Marshall doesn't need to shout to be heard. Named director of the Office of Net Assessment ('the Pentagon's internal think tank'[1] (http://www.findarticles.com/cf_dls/m2185/7_12/78791093/p1/article.jhtml)) by Richard M. Nixon and reappointed by every president since, the DOD's most elusive official has become one of its most influential. Today, Marshall - along with his star prot�g�s Vice President Dick Cheney, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, and Deputy Secretary Paul Wolfowitz - is drafting President Bush's plan to upgrade the military.' 'The Marshall Plan' by Douglas McGray, Wired, February 2003 (http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/11.02/marshall.html)."
