ABC News reports that the State Department "agreed to temporarily continue using the subsidiary known as Presidential Airways to provide helicopter transport for embassy employees around Iraq until a new contract with another security company, Dyncorp International, is fully implemented."
Presidential Airways is part of U.S. Training Center, which is a subsidiary of Xe. Xe is the euphemism or new name for Blackwater. It's for people who are willing to forget the crimes that Blackwater has committed.
Before you think you should be happy about the fact that DynCorp may take the profits Blackwater could have gotten, let me inform you that in 2002 it was reported that Dyncorp in 1999 had employees and supervisors "engaging in perverse, illegal and inhumane behavior [and] werepurchasing illegal weapons, women, forged passports and [participating inother immoral acts"coworkers and supervisors literally buying and selling women for their own personal enjoyment, and employees would brag about the various ages and talents of the individual slaves they had purchased."
And, no, these women were really not women. Actually, that sentence should probably be referring to the women as girls---kids.
Here's another excerpt from Corpwatch on this contractor:
"...a DynCorp employee in Bosnia who "weighed 400 pounds and would stick cheeseburgers in his pockets and eat them while he worked.The problem was he would literally fall asleep every five minutes. One time he fell asleep with a torch in his hand and burned a hole through the plastic on an aircraft." This same man, according to Johnston, "owned a girl who couldn't have been more than 14 years old. It's a sick sight anyway to see any grown man [having sex] with a child, but to see some 45-year-old man who weighs 400 pounds with a little girl, it just makes you sick." It is precisely these allegations that Johnston believes got him fired."
So, the Obama White House is deciding to not renew the contract with the private contractor accused of massacring civilians in Nisoor Square, whose founder Erik Prince has publicly stated Blackwater was in Iraq to wage a crusade against Islam, and is deciding to instead give the contracts instead to a contractor that has engaged in sex trafficking or sex with children?
The sad part isn't that America has hired private security contractors that commit such foul acts. What's really sad and despicable is that pigs will keep finding food in the trough as long as the U.S. continues to engage in war in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, etc.
If we have troops in a country, there will be contractors getting rich off of taxpayer dollars and showing complete and total disregard for humanity.
