from www.muckraked.comWhat is it with these people?
A contractor died when a DynCorp manager used an employee’s armored car to transport prostitutes, according to Barry Halley, a Worldwide Network Services employee working under a DynCorp subcontract.
“DynCorp’s site manager was involved in bringing prostitutes into hotels operated by DynCorp. A co-worker unrelated to the ring was killed when he was travelling in an unsecure car and shot performing a high-risk mission. I believe that my co-worker could have survived if he had been riding in an armored car. At the time, the armored car that he would otherwise have been riding in was being used by the contractor’s manager to transport prostitutes from Kuwait to Baghdad.“
Some other tidbits from the testimony just contrinute to outrage fatigue.
Kellogg Brown & Root contractors used to destroy countless quantities of still-usable equipment that was difficult to transport in “massive burn pits” that were “burning 24 hours a day.”*****
KBR employees looted Iraqi palaces for treasure to sell on eBay.
What disgusts me the most...
Is the way the government treats these whistle blowers... as if they had done something wrong! At the very least they are going to be covertly punished, such as being sent on IDE duty if they are a soldier in Iraq, and at the worse they are prosecuted on the flimsiest of excuses such as breaching national security for spilling the beans of a contracters private 'weapon for money program.'
And those who are caught, even selling weapons to insurance members? No arrests, no punishment, no pressure at all. Hell the company still gets paid huge amounts of money and access to weapons which they still sell to the highest bidder. They changed their companies name, that is all. The same people in management dealing with the same US officials.
The person who leaked that one, well I don't know where he is now. I know he was punished server for it, just can't remember if it was jail time or was just sent down a very dangerous highway.
Peter Jennings?
May he rest in peace. You must have a very special TV, indeed, if you can still watch Peter Jennings.
The dead talking head show
Excuuuuuse me! It must've been Brian Williams.
Channel surfing between c-span and sheep fodder news burns out your receptors for logic.
One whistle blower was beaten and shown pictures of his family by "security".
Sometimes I feel like Lt. Dan strapped to the top of the shrimp boat mast screaming at god to bring it on! If we have to go out let's do it 'old school' style.
I want to see the wicked turned into salt!
Really, Though...
...I think that Kuwaiti hookers are more deserving of protection than American mercenaries.
So what!
Yea, doc I watched the testimonies.
How about the KBR icemaker who withheld ice to the Marine patrols in the summer heat so he could trade ice to the local shops for his own loot. Of course he still still submitted a bill to the US sheeple.
I watched these whistle blowers, true heros, and my rage started getting too much.
So I switched over to Peter Jennings and the real important sheep foder about Miley Cyrus's exposed back photo.
GOD DAMN AMERICA
Your chickens are coming home.
