Sexual misconduct at embassy alleged
By RICHARD LARDNER (AP) – 1 hour ago
WASHINGTON — A wide-ranging State Department inquiry into allegations of lewd behavior and sexual misconduct among the private security contractors guarding the U.S. Embassy
in Afghanistan could lead to the termination of the company's $189 million contract, a department spokesman said Wednesday.

The allegations made by an independent watchdog group describe "Lord of the Flies" conditions that include threats and intimidation and scenes of guards and supervisors in various
stages of nudity at parties flowing with alcohol.

In at least one case, supervisors brought prostitutes into the quarters where the guards live, a serious breach of security and discipline, the Project on Government Oversight said. In
other instances, members of the guard force have drawn Afghans into activities forbidden by Muslims, such as drinking alcoholic beverages.

29. I cannot believe that Marines guarding the embassy would engage in
this sort of widespread behaviors.

3. This kind of stuff ..
while our US Armed Forces are STILL DADT.

oops . from the link ..

The State Department has been aware of ArmorGroup's failings, the letter said, but has failed to correct the problems. Instead, it has renewed the contract twice, with the most recent installment good through July 2010.

Kelly acknowledged that ArmorGroup has been notified eight times of poor performance since the original contract was awarded in March 2007.

Wackenhut Services, ArmorGroup North America's parent company, has not responded to requests for comment.

Danielle Brian, the Project on Government Oversight's executive director, said Wednesday the investigation of ArmorGroup should be handled by Congress, not the State Department.

"I do not have faith that the State Department will do a good job because they are equal partners in the problem," she said. "They've let this happen."

12. And remember...
The after party is the one you want to attend.

Because at the after party, they probably really ARE drinking vodka out of each other asses.

16. why did not Rachel mention that the mercenaries are not Americans...
....but hired from Central Asia or former Soviet bloc?

They are guarding the U.S. Embassy. Isn't their nationality an issue?

28. (Undeclared) War Is Hell
I am a vietnam era veteran, this is trivial but it does underline the inherent behavior by human beings forced to kill.

Our military does a damn good job. Bush fucked that up big-time by "outsourcing" questionable activities to his Evangelical friends and associates entirely circumventing the Constitution and Congress. That was illegal and he, and Cheney, must be tried for war crimes.

Americans must educate themselves and not allow our nation to be stampeded into wars of aggression and corporate enforcement.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans-Afghanistan_Pipeline

The occupation of Afghanistan is uncalled for and two alternative were available, first was to have accepted the Taliban's offer to turn over Osama (yes, they did! And Bush ignored their offer) the other alternative was to nuke Tora Bora when we knew Osama was there. Ground wars _always_ produce atrocities.

Wake the fuck up America!

Strawberry Hill will class up any occasion, especially if sipped delicately out of another's tush.
