re: NASA Admin Griffin Obstructing Obama Transition Team

Sandy Coleman is a reporter for CNN.
But Google didn't show Sandy Coleman with Alliant Tech Systems. Which doesn't mean much.

"Alliant Techsystems Inc., more commonly known by its New York Stock Exchange symbol ATK, was incorporated in Delaware in 1990 when Honeywell Inc. spun off its defense businesses to its stockholders. The spin-off became effective in September 1990, when Honeywell transferred to ATK substantially all of the assets and liabilities of those businesses. In 1995 ATK entered the aerospace market with the acquisition of Hercules Inc. Aerospace division. Since then ATK has grown to become a leading supplier of aerospace and defense products to the U.S. government and its allies, and to prime contractors. ATK is also a major supplier of ammunition and related accessories to law enforcement agencies and commercial customers.
Since 2000 ATK has grown significantly as a result of both internal expansion and a series of acquisitions, including:

􀁸 Thiokol Propulsion in April 2001.
􀁸 The Sporting Equipment Group of Blount International, Inc. in December 2001.
􀁸 The ordnance business of The Boeing Company in May 2002.
􀁸 The assets of Science and Applied Technology, Inc. in October 2002.
􀁸 Composite Optics, Inc. in January 2003.
􀁸 Micro Craft and GASL in November 2003.
􀁸 Mission Research Corporation in March 2004.
􀁸 The PSI Group in September 2004.
􀁸 Swales Aerospace in June 2007."
