The Panetta Institute is on the grounds of the decomissioned Fort Ord Army base. Donated to the institute from the Governement? There are so many World Government links here as Gary Arnold explains. Mr Arnold ought to know...he ran against him for political office. Since then Leon Panetta has gone far, but now has lost his CIA post...why? And why did he go so far? As we can see he was very connected in the first place..that is why.
