lets take a look at ptech and mitre.
Ptech was with MITRE Corporation in the basement of the FAA for two years prior to 9/11," Singh said. "Their specific job is to look at interoperability issues the FAA had with NORAD and the Air Force in the case of an emergency.
Ptech's roster of clients included several governmental agencies, including the United States Armed Forces, NATO, Congress, the Department of Energy, the Department of Justice, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Customs, the FAA, the IRS, the Secret Service, and the White House

A number of Ptech employees and investors will later be suspected of having ties to groups that have been designated by the US as terrorist organizations:
Yassin al-Qadi, a Saudi multimillionaire. He will invest $5 million of Ptech?s start-up money. The US will declare him an al-Qaeda financier shortly after 9/11 (see October 12, 2001). In 1998, al-Qadi will come under investigation by FBI agent Robert Wright (see October 1998) for potential ties to the 1998 US embassy bombings (see August 7, 1998). Al-Qadi is also a major investor in BMI Inc., an investment firm with connections to a remarkable number of suspected terrorist financiers (see 1986-October 1999). Al-Qadi later will claims that he sold his investment in Ptech in 1999, but there will be evidence he may continue to hold a financial stake after that year, and even after the US will officially declare him a terrorism financier (see 1999-After October 12, 2001).
Soliman Biheiri. He is the head of BMI and a member of Ptech?s board. US prosecutors will later call him the US banker for the Muslim Brotherhood, a banned Egyptian militant group. He will later be convicted for lying and immigration fraud
Yaqub Mirza. He is a Ptech investor and on a Ptech advisory board. He directs SAAR, a multi-million dollar network of companies and charities in Herndon, Virginia (see July 29, 1983). In March 2002, US investigators will raid the SAAR network for suspected terrorism ties (see March 20, 2002). In late 2002, the Wall Street Journal will report, ?US officials privately say Mr. Mirza and his associates also have connections to al-Qaeda and to other entities officially listed by the US as sponsors of terrorism

He also "performed employee training
and handled all procurement for software, systems and peripherals." AFP
asked Goff, who left the Worcester law firm of Seder & Chandler in 1994, how
he wound up working at Ptech. "Through a temp agency," Goff said, but he
could not remember the name of the agency.
Goff said he did not know who had written the Ptech software code. AFP
contacted the government agencies that reportedly have Ptech software on
their computers, and IBM, to ask if they knew who wrote the Ptech source
code. None had provided any information by press time.
