GlobalSecurity.org is a public policy organization focusing on the fields of defense, space exploration, intelligence, weapons of mass destruction and homeland security. The organization's office is located in Alexandria, Virginia. The organization was founded in 2000 by John E. Pike, who serves as its director.
The organization's website provides news and analysis on weapons systems and industry, as well as guides and directories of military and space related programs, entities, and facilities. GlobalSecurity.org also provides political documents, including legislative reports, political debates, hearings, and other materials, some of which is available online elsewhere, but which GlobalSecurity.org states that it processes and collates to make more accessible to its readers.
The website aims at news reporters, but also policymakers and the public. The website is behind a MyPressPlus paywall. Eight articles are free per month, beyond which a monthly subscription fee of $9.95 is charged.
The website is known for its "Where are the Carriers?" page, which gives status reports as to the whereabouts of U.S. aircraft carriers. Forbes.com reviewed the site as part of their "Best of the Web" directory. While praising GlobalSecurity.org for its "depth of military information" it criticized the basic graphics and that the site contained some dead links.

Reviews
The idea of ‘document’ seems to have a promising fascination for the twenty-first century psyche. Buck Downs’ new book of poems, Marijuana Soft Drink, might be called a document. It doesn’t say things in a conventional sense. It isn’t narrative. It maps and gives verbal evidence of the up-and-down, complex psychological and ethical landscape of its times.

Paul William Mozer (born April 23, 1955) is an American former Treasury bond trader for Salomon Brothers who was convicted in an illegal bidding scandal.
Early life and career
Mozer was born in New York City to Robert and Patricia Mozer. He enrolled in the Berklee College of Music in the fall of 1973. He transferred to Whitman College, where he majored in economics, edited the school newspaper and graduated in 1977. He graduated from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, with a master's degree.
In 1979, Mozer joined Salomon's Chicago office. In 1983, he married Francine Lee. He was transferred to Salomon's New York Government bond desk. Mozer was publicly critical of the Government's 35% bid limit rule; "the 35% bid-limit rule became known to many on Wall Street, as the “Mozer/Basham” rule".
When the government restricted Salomon's bid to 35% in August 1990, Mozer submitted bids for 35% in the name of S.G. Warburg and Quantum Fund (without their knowledge), for a total of 105%. However, Warburg submitted its own bid, and the government notified Warburg that it was restricting its bid. Mozer scrambled to assure Warburg that it was a "clerical error." His supervisor, John Meriwether chewed him out for the transgression, but he was not fired.
In May 1991, Salomon, using the same methods, bought $10.6 billion of the $11.3 billion two-year note auction. A short squeeze began. Officials at the Treasury talked to officials at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) about apparent Market manipulation. John Gutfreund met with United States Department of the Treasury officials giving assurances. United States Department of Justice officials met with officials from the New York Fed and E. Gerald Corrigan. Salomon issued a press release, but this failed to placate the Government; they threatened to pull trading authority from Salomon.
On August 9, 1991, Mozer was suspended along with Thomas Murphy.
Salomon was fined $290 million, the largest fine ever levied on an investment bank at the time, weakening it and eventually leading to its acquisition by Travelers Group, now a part of Citigroup. CEO Gutfreund left the company in August 1991; a SEC settlement resulted in a fine of $100,000 and his being barred from serving as a chief executive of a brokerage firm; Warren Buffett became chairman and appointed Deryck Maughan president.
On December 3, 1992, the SEC filed a complaint against Mozer for filing "false bids" On January 12, 1993, he was indicted by a federal grand jury. He was represented by Stanley Arkin. Judge Leval in Manhattan sentenced Mozer to four months in a minimum security prison and a fine of $30,000.

In 2001, there were rumors he was at a hedge fund.
