Your tax dollars at work: Armored cars for hookers
U.S. Military Contractor ‘Used Armored Cars To Transport Prostitutes’
Over at Muckraked, we get news that “a panel of whistleblowers” testifying before a Senate committee yesterday dropped a dime on their employer, military contractor DynCorp (among others). The most explosive part of the testimony involved a contract manager, a misappropriated armored car, and prostitutes:
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 traveling 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.”
Look at it this way. Sending hookers around in armored transport cars is probably just as much an “economic stimulus” as the BS “Are these cashed in dollars, or yuan?” rebate checks soon to appear in your mailbox, right?

Dear Sirs:
Why is it that an intern didn’t get this kind of protection?
Thank you very much for your time and assistance.
