WASHINGTON
— A leading U.S. security firm has been assigned to form an aviation network in Iraq. ShareThis

The State Department has contracted DynCorp International to provide aviation and support services in Iraq. Under the award, DynCorp would replace the former Blackwater, which was the only major U.S. security contractor with an aviation fleet in Iraq
and other parts of the Middle East.

"This award is a tremendously important opportunity for DynCorp International to support the safety and security of U.S. diplomatic personnel serving in Iraq," DynCorp International chief executive officer William Ballhaus said.

In May 2009, DynCorp replaced Blackwater as the leading security contractor for the State Department. Blackwater, responsible for aviation services as well, was banned from operating in Iraq in wake of the prosecution of six former security officers linked to a shootout in Baghdad in 2007 in which 16 civilians were killed.

As scary as Blackwater is, it cannot hold a candle to Dyncorp.

and we will have a bigger problem in the future. This is placing lots of money into the wrong hands... a very dangerous precedent has been made.

When one defense contractor outbids another for an existing 'services' contract, they often siphon off a lot of the current company's employees, since they're already there and they know the ropes.

are usually required to give those employees right of first refusal.

murdering and plundering where ever they go.

Just as bad or worse than Blackwater...

The story kindof makes it seem like DynCorp is the new player on the team when actually they've been there all along:

Another name I'm surprised hasn't popped up is Triple Canopy.

I bet they all just subcontract out personnel, equipment and services between each other, as needed.


More of the same old shit.

Just another head on the hydra.

Come on Hillary.
