Topaz Posted February 6, 2011 Report Posted February 6, 2011 The DND and the Foreign Affairs have hired 11 security contractors in Afghanistan since 2006. FA has spent 8 Mil. and DND spent 3.5Mil. The security have been slammed by the US senate as having warlords on the payroll.Do these two departments know who they are dealing with or what they are doing? For al we know, these contractors can be worse than the group NATO is fighting. http://ca.news.yahoo.com/canadas-hired-guns-afghanistan-slammed-u-senate-report-20110206-091557-556.html Quote
Jonsa Posted February 6, 2011 Report Posted February 6, 2011 Yes they do know. A big chunk of that change was for "security" at the dam we were building. Seems Karzai's brother runs the security outfit and when told to piss off as he wasn't doing anything, seems all kinds of trouble ensued with workers and trucks and banditry etc. Soon as he was hired back, voila peace and light. Oldest gangster trick in the book, eh? Quote
Saipan Posted February 7, 2011 Report Posted February 7, 2011 Yes, we shouldn't trust them with anytihng. We ought to stay there and run their country Quote
Topaz Posted February 7, 2011 Author Report Posted February 7, 2011 Yes, we shouldn't trust them with anytihng. We ought to stay there and run their country I think we should be watching the Tories since they are the ones that hired these guys, maybe we should be watching both! Quote
