Does Qinetiq lack intelligence?

Qinetiq, the controversially privatised defence and technology company, released a little more information than intended in its announcement to the stock exchange that it has appointed former CIA director George Tenet as a non-executive director, writes Hans Kundnani.

Not only does Qinetiq operate in a field where information security is all-important, it also develops technology to help keep information secure - for example from cyber-terrorists and hackers.

It was therefore somewhat odd - and worrying - to see an embarrassing appendix inadvertently attached to the end of the company's statement.
