Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi says it's time to "drain the swamps" of Washington D.C. What she's attacking -- in part -- are the incestuous links between legislators, lobbyists and private sector companies looking for government pork. It won't be easy. Here's a quick look at some of the iron triangle interconnections at other defense firms also making a killing in the current war climate.

Defense Products: P-8 Poseidon anti-submarine aircraft, KC 767 air-to-air tanker.
Bedfellows: Richard Perle's venture capital firm, Trireme Partners, received $20 million from the Boeing Company. He's also a member of the Pentagon's Defense Policy Board. James Roche's resignation from the post of secretary of the Air Force was prompted by the investigation Senator John McCain launched into a shady non-competitive Boeing tanker deal Roche encouraged. The investigation eventually landed two of the defense contractor's officials in jail.

Defense Products: B-2 Bomber, RQ-4 Global Hawk unmanned aerial drone, "Star Wars" laser systems.
Bedfellows: Former undersecretary for defense and current president of the World Bank Paul Wolfowitz is a former Northrop Grumman consultant. Former Pentagon official Douglas Feith has been investigated several times for distorting prewar intelligence on Iraq. In addition to holding the number three position at the pentagon, Feith founded the Feith & Zell law firm, whose clients included Northrop Grumman. He can be credited for creating the now disbanded Office of Strategic Intelligence, which, among other things, provided fake news items to the foreign media in order to gain support for the war in Iraq.

Defense Products: M1 Abrams Main Tank, Trident subs, EFV Amphibious Assault Vehicle.
Bedfellows: Gordon England, former secretary of the Navy, began his career with no prior military or government experience. Rather, he was plucked by the Bush administration from the position of executive vice president of General Dynamics. Former Secretary of State Colin Powell served on the board of Gulfstream Aerospace -- a company whose clientele included Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, and which was taken over by General Dynamics.

Defense Services: Provides the military with services such as construction, clean-up and troop support.
Bedfellow: Vice President Dick Cheney was CEO of Halliburton from 1995 until his resignation in 2000, and has been accused by Democrats in Congress of having an influence on no-bid contracts awarded to the company he once ran.
