I saw this on the new yesterday morning and it was scary. They were questioning a villager if he had seen the Taliban. He answered yes, and where he saw them. The interpreter than tells our military, the man hadn't seen a thing. The villager was confused as to why our troops just walked away. SCARY!

So the feds pay this company for military needs as a cost saving measure yet you have them paying linguists 210k a year?? Why not train a member of the military, pay them 100k a year, and save money? Stupid. Military contractors are scum.

One certainly should expect Mission Essential Personnel (MEP), now having their Corporate Delay
and Diversion Lawyers (not peoples' Trial Lawyers)
working full-time with MEP Corporate Communications,
to escape both responsibility and accountability
in this case. After all, it IS the Corporate Way!!!

While scum;they're smaller and less stinky scum than The Scum Lords,like Rumsfeld,Cheney & Co.,that create PRIVATIZATION profit opportunities for their scummy co-conspirators out of what used to be rightful military and governmental fuctions wherein PROFIT was irrelevant.
