DynCorp Manager Used Armored Car
To Transport Hookers in Iraq
Some explosive testimony this afternoon from a panel of whistleblowers testifying before the Senate’s Democratic Policy Committee on contractor abuse in Iraq.
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.“
Other revelations:
- 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’s ice foreman “was cheating the troops out of ice at the same time that he was trading the ice for DVDs, CDs, food and other items at the Iraqi shops across the street.”
- When KBR whistleblower Frank Cassaday reported weapons looting, he was placed in a jail tent by KBR security.
- KBR employees looted Iraqi palaces for treasure to sell on eBay.

And how much more of this will we take before we fire all those pricks in Congress and impeach every member of the White House? Probably five more wars and two million more dead souls.
So this is what it feels like to walk amongst the dark princes. Ewwhh I have to go take a shower.

Looks like reality follows fiction. Here’s our fake story from November:
Blackwater Security Guards Accused Of Taking Viagra During Wild Weekend At Baghdad Brothel
The madam of The Baathouse brothel in eastern Baghdad has sued the Blackwater USA security firm, alleging that four of its employees got pumped-up on Viagra while engaging in connubial relations with numerous prostitutes over the weekend of November 10th.
“I take good care of my girls and they are not used to the power and stamina of the Viagra Penis,” laments a visibly shaken Shada Al-Hasan. “I demand that Blackwater pay for the income lost due to the fact that my girls were occupied with them and not able to please other customers.”
Blackwater USA declined an interview with SNS, but we did receive from a trusted anonymous source an Instant Messenger screenshot alleged to be from one of the accused security guards, which reads: “Dude, we banged those burqa-faced broads for two days straight! I swear, nothing else helps clear the head after a hard week of slaughtering civilians.”

Remember when the Republicans were the majority in the House and Senate, and they steadfastly refused to perform any oversight? I would call them traitors. I would go as far as to say that.

Again and again these acts of terrorism are being revealed and yet, it seems that nothing is being done to stop it. A re-signing for these contractors has spoken volumes that this corrupt government is in no way interested in the value or respect of human life. As we sit so comfortably at home, be sure that these monsters will return after their contracts have been completed and continue to kill, rape and steal…only now from thier own countrymen and women. Most will find gainful employment with the police departments who are already lowering their standards for recruits. Expect to find an exponential increase in the number of violent actions by police personel who feel “threatened” by ordinary citizens who have the misfortune to cross paths with these well-trained killers.

SNS,
That’s obviously a fake story. They don’t need Viagra. They have serious staying power without it. In fact, they’ve been f@ucking the US taxpayer since the GOP started their never ending wars.
April 29th, 2008 06:42
By the time the average Joe six-pack figures out that they’re being f@ucked, it’ll be too late. Anyone paying attention in this country is well aware of the police state apparatus being put in place all round us. We have free speech “zones”, warrantless wire taps, legalized sneak and peeks authorized by the Patriot Act. The list goes on and on. The same terrorists that hate us because of our freedoms are rapidly stripping all of those freedoms from us. Our government runs the terror network that attacked us on 9/11 and they’ll use them again on us to make sure we continue to do as they say. Wake up!

Tese KBR people are Great Supporters of the Mujahadeen. The Crusader Armies are being taken down from within by their own corruption. It is truly the work of the Mujahadeen!!!!!! Allah Bless KBR…… they are doing the work of thousands in the struggle to free the World from Opression and to establish true “World Peace” through Islam…….

Of course, you all realize that this fraud has been going on for six years, right? That our congressmen and women have known about this all along, and the hearings make it look as if they’re actually doing something, but the witnesses who are testifying say that they CALLED their senators and representatives and the State Department (Oh, yeah, Condi gives a damn about stopping any war profiteering!) THREE AND FOUR YEARS AGO!
Robert Greenwald broke this story a couple of years ago. Have you not heard of “Iraq for Sale”?
And of course, Brigadier General Smedley Butler broke this story decades ago.
To hear that Halliburton has an “ethics hotline” for its employees to call about made me fall over. Halliburton? Ethics? Are you kidding me? That’s not how Halliburton works. Have you checked the value of Cheney’s stock options in the company lately? Nothing will come of these hearings, because Dick doesn’t like any interference from underlings.
April 29th, 2008 09:14
You have to wonder how much of the contractors’ materiel has ended up in the hands of people who are killing US troops. During the Vietnam war, US troops sold weapons from storehouses to the VC, who used them against other US troops. I’ve no doubt KBR and the rest would do the same for personal profit.

You have been warned. The population bottleneck is coming. Those who haven’t learned their lessons will be unable to cope with the deprivation. Their offspring, if any, will find it difficult to survive. This is the apocalypse the neo-cons and religious right are waiting for. Let them have it.
Evolution in action.

[…] Over at Muckraked, we get news that "a panel of whistleblowers" testifying before a Senate committee yesterday dropped a dime on their employer, military contractor DynCorp (among others). The most explosive part of the testimony involved a contract manager, a misappropriated armored car, and prostitutes: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.

I work for Daniels Cosnt., a KBR subsidiary, back in the early 1980’s. They were building a cost+ pumped storage project in Bath Co. Va., they took what had to be hundred’s of thousands of dollars worth of usable eqipment and buried it and when I asked why I was told ,” F**K, the govt. is paying for it.” This story sounds way to familiar.

Anybody remember the footage of vietnam era hueys being shoved overboard after the end of that conflict? My dad says he saw thousands of brand new WW2 harleys and jeeps get the same treatment. Why? Because it was felt that these flooding the market would harm the economy somehow. As long as you’ve got a large military-industrial complex with the thousands of people expecting their paychecks for their handiwork of death, you will see conflicts for no reason other than to burn up ammunition and materiel so that the production of more may be justified. Just look at the statistics pertaining to how much arms manufacturing stock is owned by our congressmen, and the profits skimmed since the rape of the Iraqi people. It’s a disgrace to this country.

I object to the prostitutes being called “hookers”. They were probably not consenting to their duty. More probably they were victims of the slave sex trade.
As to the KBR staff using viagra, you should know that these pills are a hot item on the Iraq black market. I’ve seen vids where Iraqis sell them piecemeal to young GIs. Go figure.

[…] Dyncorp employees have been pushing on various fronts to find some avenue for compensation or accountability of the Guantanamos of business law. A former sub-conractor testified before Congress that a comrade would not have been killed if the armored car was not being used to transport prostitutes to Dyncorp hotels. In 2002, two former employees won in court after Dyncorp fired them for blowing the whistle on the trafficing of sex slaves in Bosnia.
