DynCorp whistleblower revealed sex-slave trade among fellow Americans in Bosnia

Halliburton and Blackwater, apparently, were just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to American corporate corruption overseas -- the kind aided and abetted by the U.S. government.

Now there's this case involving DynCorp, as reported by CorpWatch:

Middle-aged men having sex with 12- to 15-year-olds was too much for Ben Johnston, a hulking 6-foot-5-inch Texan, and more than a year ago he blew the whistle on his employer, DynCorp, a U.S. contracting company doing business in Bosnia.

According to the Racketeer Influenced Corrupt Organization Act (RICO) lawsuit filed in Texas on behalf of the former DynCorp aircraft mechanic, "in the latter part of 1999 Johnston learned that employees and supervisors from DynCorp were engaging in perverse, illegal and inhumane behavior were purchasing illegal weapons, women, forged passports and
Rather than acknowledge and reward Johnston's effort to get this behavior stopped, DynCorp fired him, forcing him into protective custody by the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Division (CID) until the investigators could get him safely out of Kosovo and returned to the United States.

And the case's outcome?

Incredibly, the CID case was closed in June 2000 and turned over to the Bosnian authorities. DynCorp says it conducted its own investigation, and Hirtz and Werner were fired by DynCorp and returned to the United States but were not prosecuted. Experts in slave trafficking aren't buying the CID's interpretation of the law.

1. Cynthia McKinney was right and she NEVER got an answer from Rumsfeld

3. Bingo.

That was the first thing I thought of when I saw this. It pretty much tells you all you need to know about Rumsfeld. McKinney never gets enough credit for standing up to him that day.

look beaten.

7. Dontcha think that if we're trying to spread freedom and democracy around the world..

that we'd at least try to keep our emissaries from trafficking in sex slaves?

Oh and of course we punish the whistle blower more than the perps. Gawd Bless Ummurika.
