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.

Oh man! Well we she should just ship every one of our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines home right now! That just totally ruined everything we've accomplished! LOL! This guy is starting to make me laugh.
