WHO'S IN CHARGE IN IRAQ NOW?: The policing of Iraq is now in the hands of Dyncorp, who bought the USD22million contract with a donation to the Republicans of about USD150,000 - not a bad return on investment. Coincidently, the company decided to drop its appeal against a judgement that had called it 'callous, spiteful and vindictive' - and that's just towards its own employees. The organisation now bringing law and order to the streets of Baghdad had sacked Kathryn Bolkovac after she'd blown the whistle on how 'peacekeepers' in the Dynocorp pay in Bosnia had been enjoying going to nightclubs where fifteen year olds were being forced to dance naked and fuck the customers. Oh, and it also settled with Ben Johnston who'd alleged the firm's staff engaged in inhumane behaviour, bought women, forged passports and illegal weapons. We'd have thought a corporation who had been accused of such things would either be keen to demonstrate in a legal hearing how such things aren't true in any way. Or else would be laughed out of any attempts to position itself as a trainers to a police force of a country that can do brutal and inhumane all on its own.
