liberals who gave us Big Government should love the DynCorp contract to train police in Iraq. Almost all Federal contracts are sweetheart deals that hire former high-level Federal employees or retired military officers, but this police training contract just about takes the cake. NBC News reported the night before last that we have already spent $30 million on this deal and will in short order be spending $800 million more. We will be spending, according to NBC, $400,000 per trainer, counting salaries, benefits and expenses. No policeman in this country makes anywhere near this much. DynCorp was so embarrassed they refused to comment because they knew there was no way they could justify the obscene profits and ripoff of the U.S. taxpayers in this sweetheart deal, $850 million, $400,000 per trainer. DynCorp should be ashamed, but I suppose they are laughing all the way to the bank.
