Evil Dyncorp
And continuing the long tradition of giving carte blanche to all the companies doing the paramilitary work of the USA, we now have that Dyncorp, besides supplying retired soldiers and "advisors", is also raping 14 year old girls:
Middle-aged men having sex with 12- to 15-year-olds was too much for Ben Johnston, a hulking 6-foot-5-inch Texan, and more than a year ago he blew the whistle on his employer, DynCorp, a U.S. contracting company doing business in Bosnia.
They are all over the world, not only in Bosnia. Colombia, Africa, wherever the USA has to have some action but can't send their troops. Only thing is that these guys seem to unaccountable. There have been various accounts, such as the one by Human Rights worker Kathryn Bolkovac. Human Rights Watch has sent letters to that effect, as well as documenting this behavior.
But as we all know, raping is just business as usual in this political climate.

Thank goodness for people who are willing to blow the whistle, and groups like Human Rights Watch.
Whats happening in Irag with contracting is disgusting on the part of the US goverment. Wasn't that the idea all along, to get in there and make money? Over throwing Saddam for the good of the people,(sarcasm)yea right. I'm looking forward to keeping a close eye on the situation in Iraq and this upcoming election.
