From the Pat Finucane Centre:
US Congressional hearings are being held this week into private contractors in Iraq. The hearings were announced after audits conducted by the special inspector general uncovered billions of dollars in Iraq reconstruction funds that have been misspent or are simply unaccounted for. Concerns about the use of private security companies in Iraq have flourished in recent years. One private security contractor in particular, warrants intense scrutiny. Please contact your local Representatives and ask the following questions about the award of a $293 million contract to Aegis Defense Services as well as questions about the use of private security contractors in general.
Contact the US Congressional Committee on Oversight and Government Reform and ask the Committee to consider the TEN Questions outlined below in relation to Aegis and ex British Army LT Col Tim Spicer
