Military Takes Control of Contractors, State Department Bozos Who Screwed Up Contractors Get Bonuses

The military has basically taken control of oversight of contractors, "The agreement requires all State Department convoys in Iraq to coordinate their movements with the military’s main operations center in Baghdad, sets minimum standards for training the contractors and outlines when armed guards may use force in self-defense.".

In related news, "two key deputies who worked closely with the security contractors, Kevin Barry and Justine Sincavage, received quiet promotions", and "On November 20, an internal cable, listed as State 158575, went out to State employees announcing the recipients of bonuses ranging from $10,000 to $15,000 for "outstanding performance." Among them: Kevin Barry and Justine Sincavage."

My head hurts.
