Default Look at main Iraq contractor fraud cases

Major cases involving alleged contractor fraud in Iraq, Kuwait and Afghanistan:

ADVERTISEMENT

• LEE-DAVIS: Maj. Gloria Davis allegedly told Army investigators before her death in December 2006 that she received $225,000 in bribes from Kuwait-based businessman George H. Lee and his son. Army investigator also said she knew of other payments by the Lees to U.S. contracting officers. No charges filed, but military seized Davis' bank accounts and suspended Lee and his company from doing business with government.

• MAJ. JOHN COCKERHAM: Federal grand jury in Texas last August indicted Cockerham, his wife Melissa and sister Carolyn Blake on bribery, conspiracy and money-laundering charges, accusing them of taking at least $9.6 million in bribes in 2004-05 while Cockerham was contract officer in Kuwait. Largest bribery case to emerge so far in investigation into contractor fraud.

• LT. COL. BRUCE HOPFENGARDNER: Hopfengardner pleaded guilty in June to conspiracy to commit money laundering and wire fraud. Sentenced to 21 months in prison and fined $144,500 for accepting cash and gifts while serving in Iraq.

• MOHAMMAD SHABBIR KHAN: Khan, U.S. citizen and former director of Kuwait and Iraq operations for Saudi Arabian subcontractor Tamimi Global Co., sentenced last December to 51 months in prison and fined $10,000 after admitting paying kickbacks to former employee of Kellogg, Brown & Root Services Inc. to win $14.4 million food services contract at Camp Arifjan, Kuwait, and $7.4 million subcontract at palace in Baghdad. Stephen Lowell Seamans, former KBR manager in Kuwait, sentenced to a year and a day after admitting taking kickbacks from Khan.

• PHILIP BLOOM: Bloom, American living in Romania, sentenced last February to 46 months in prison after pleading guilty to bribery, conspiracy and money laundering. Admitted bribing military personnel with jewelry, computers, cigars and sexual favors to win contracts. Three Army officers awaiting trial for allegedly steering contracts to Bloom.

Yes, there are positives. With contractors handling a portion of combat service support, that allows the soldiers to focus more on thier jobs instead of their additional duties. There are many things at military installations worldwide that used to be done by soldiers and are now contracted. (i.e. dining facilities, grounds maintenance, vehicle maintenance, facility management, etc.)

The concept of using contractors is not bad. Criminals that use their positions to fleece the taxpayers are bad. These criminals exist in almost all walks of life. Doctors, lawyers, butchers and bakers have a percentage of criminals that will steal money when they are in the position to do so. When we find them we prosecute them.

Lightbulb Fuck All Of You

Back when I was banned from this site......I wandered from site to site looking for intelligent life........during all that time roaming from hippymom to TPA to freespeech TV to TN Talk etc......I was in Instant message communications with Ocean/ TONI and Petey............who of the two Petey is the only one who hasn't displayed a second personality like a Skitzoid CRAZY PERSON.

(just by the by it was alpert Hoffman....a Swedish Physicist who was working with Schizo patients useing aderichrome......who finnally synthisized LSD........and He was kiddnapped by HITLER.

WHAT DID HITLER DO WITH LSD ???????

WHO WAS TIM LEARY

WHAT IS THE CIA........


ANYHOW IT WAS BOTH PETEY AND LADY WHO KEPT AFTER ME TO COME BACK HERE IF YOU ARE "LOOKING" FOR SOMEONE TO BLAME..........for getting me back in this forum.............I don't think Petey has the connections to do what was done............SO AGAIN I FIND MYSELF ASKING......( just like I asked over at TPA about why THORNBIRD and AREYOUFAKE had invited me to TPA).........


WHY THE FUCK DID YOU INVITE ME BACK HERE OCEAN CUNT.....when I told you and told you that I did not want to go where I was not WELCOMED.

WHAT KIND OF FUCKING SICK CUNT FEMINIST GAME PLAYER ARE YOU>>>>>HHHMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

^I^

FUCKING FEMI-NAZI MAN-IPULATORS

FEMINISM... DESTROYING AMERICA

I'D HATE TO BE YOUR HUSBAND :-(

If I ask you to pick one thing that has done more damage to the United States in modern times than anything else, what would you pick? The question would give you pause, would it not? Because we live in the middle of a revolution, there are many possibilities. Everything is in turmoil. Every institution stands on its ear. It is hard to believe that many Americans still don’t even know something fundamental is wrong.

For instance, as in old Rome, our limited republic has been corrupted into an empire and empire means war. As I write, we are mired in Iraq. When you read this, we could be enmeshed in another in Iran. We have been at war for more than a century. Historian Harry Elmer Barnes called the process Perpetual War for Perpetual Peace. Our own leaders have tricked us into one war after another, every one of which could have been avoided.

We suffer an invasion across what used to be our southern border, conducted by the President of the United States. I shall take no time here to explain; since you have sense enough to be one of my readers, I assume you already know that. The invasion could bring our country to its knees, culturally, financially and politically. In fact, it could abolish our country.

Financial experts tell us that the biggest financial collapse in the history of the galaxy is coming. It includes the bursting of the real estate “bubble,” filled with “no ratio” loans in which the borrower no longer even need tell the lender about his income and assets; it also includes the collapse of the dollar, which today is worth about two 1913 cents, because even a government as big as ours cannot write rubber checks forever.

Indeed, the government may be taking the dollar down deliberately, as part of the plan to replace it with something called the “Amero,” the currency of the new nation called the “North American Union,” composed of the three former nations of North America. Again; the plan calls for the abolition of our nation. This is not speculation. The traitors responsible say in almost those words that is what they are doing. The Trans-Texas Corridor is part of the package.

Our standard of living is falling. The illusion remains, but only because more and more family members must work to maintain it. China, India and other nations are inheriting more and more deported jobs that used to be done here by Americans. General Motors used to be an American company with foreign branches; now it is a Chinese Communist company with American branches.

Many other companies have fled, encouraged to do so by the United States government. Do you want to call India for free? Call your credit card company, or many other financial institutions. You will talk to someone in Bangalore named Priyadarshini, who calls herself Jacqueline. You will get along well with her, because she has been taught how to talk with Americans.




With some remaining exceptions, American government schools teach the religions of atheism, evolution and Islam, homosexuality and revolution instead of facts. Graduates believe their ignorance is erudition, because the miseducators tell them they are the “best educated” generation of Americans ever.

People the federal government is bringing here from around the world—some of whom have no idea how to operate a doorknob—are bringing diseases we thought we had long ago wiped out. There is more health freedom—the ability to choose the medical treatment you want—in India, than there is in the United States. Few Americans realize that we already live in a worsening dictatorship.

Again, these are just a few examples. No doubt you could come up with an entirely different slate of your own. Each one of them is titanic, big enough and malevolent enough to wipe a nation out. But the one I am talking about is, I believe, the worst of them all; it has done more to destroy America than any of the others, however bad they are.

It’s feminism.

IT is a get rich quick scheme. THere is no reason whatsoever for any soldier to have suport or internaction with a private comany. We dont hire hessians. We are supposed to be a nation whose military is not a indusatry its a purley a defenceive nesccessaity. ITs been almost 200 hundred years since its been used for the reight reasons There is no excuse for it and the corruption was part fo the plan. To think goverment awarded contracts save money is assanine. Nowhere is more money wasted and stolen then in these insantances. That fact that crimianls happen is not an excuse in any walk of life.

Regardless of how you feel the military needs to be used, the military has a need for logistics support that in many cases is more cost effective using a contracted private company. Just because some government contracting officers use their position to try to get rich quick it is the exception and not the norm.
