Politics, money, and war.

Wednesday, May 19


hello

We're back.

Blogger has gotten all fancy on us while we've been away. So, let's get started and back on track to following the money in Iraq.

The US State Department has a list of security companies operating in Iraq posted on their website.

http://travel.state.gov/iraq_securitycompanies.html

We at bpost notice that several companies reported to be operating are not on the list--CACI, Wackenhut, Dyncorp, Steele, to name a few off the top of our heads. There is also the following disclaimer posted on the webpage: The U.S. government assumes no responsibility for the professional ability or integrity of the persons or firms whose names appear on the list.

For the purposes of space, we have not included the descriptions of the services each company provides but you might want to check it out. "Information support"? Whatever.

How many of these companies have received direct contract awards from US governmental agencies? Does priority on primary contract awards still go to companies from nations of the Coalition of the Willing?
