| 2003-07-28 |
| Tribute to Matthew Baker Stratfor is mourning the loss of its chief analyst, Matthew Baker, who has been with the company since its inception in 1996. Matthew, aged 33, was shot and killed at his home in Austin, Texas, on the evening of July 24. As chief analyst, Matthew helped keep Stratfor’s analysis ahead of the mainstream media coverage. He was interviewed frequently by the press as a military expert, especially during the Kosovo war and again during the recent Iraq war. Matthew has been quoted by many media sources, including the Boston Herald, Sun Sentinel, London Free Press, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, FoxNews.com, the Washington Times, and by Stars & Stripes and other military journals. He also has been interviewed on numerous radio and TV stations as a military expert. Matthew will be greatly missed by his friends and colleagues at Stratfor, and we pay tribute to his exceptional dedication to his work and to this company. We want our subscribers to know that although Matthew’s death leaves a void in our hearts, the best way we can honor him is to continue to uphold his example in providing excellence to our audience and customers. |

| #1 Very sad to die so young. Is there a possibility that it was related to his analytical activities? |
