The Bush administration has admitted State Department contracts to private security contractors have quadrupled to nearly four billion dollars per year. The rise in payments has not been accompanied by an increase in oversight.

According to the New York Times, administration officials admit they have hired few new officials to monitor the contracts. There are currently only seventeen contract compliance officers overseeing the billions of dollars in contracts to companies like Blackwater and Dyncorps.


In addition to work in Iraq and Afghanistan, the State Department’s Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs has doled out more than $2.2 billion dollars for police training and drug eradication abroad. Ninety-four percent of that money has gone to DynCorp.

not that I doubt the relevance or fact-- I think it's obvious Bush is spending (and wasting) too much $$$.

I have a brother-in-law who is advocating writing senators to fund these groups. They call themselves security companies. These companies are incorporating war. Heres a link to Blackwater.

And yes they have volunteer forces who are patroling the U$ borders as well.

If you google backwater and new york times you will find several articles on them from the government paying Iraqi families $1500 when a drunken blackwater employee kills inncoent family members to how many millions the government haas paid them.
