The stinking rotting corruption of bush & Cartel

[LynnTheDem]

ANYONE that could defend shit like this just hates our uniformed men & women, hates America & all she used to stand for. PERIOD.

Custer Battles is a company with no experience whatsoever in the security industry and an owner who has contributed to Republican causes and is a former Republican congressional candidate. Can you think of anyone more deserving of a $16 million contract to provide security for the Baghdad Airport?

The Bush administration decided not to join the whistleblowers' civil suit alleging fraud against the company, run by a former Republican congressional candidate. The whistleblowers' attorney said a Justice Department lawyer told him the reason was that the alleged victim was the U.S.-financed and led Coalition Provisional Authority, not the U.S. government.

-Only a Bushy could come up with the excuse that the CPA was unrelated to the US government.

Crony capitalism and the occupation of Iraq

Contracts in hand, Custer Battles seems to have proceeded to steal everything that wasn't nailed down and to pry up most of what was. With a few shell companies to do phony invoicing, it manged to inflate $3 million in costs on a cost-plus contract to $9 million. One estimate of the total fraud reaches $50 million.
