1. The company that hired and screened the employees is "Florida based."

I wonder if the owners have */Republican ties?

edit: Why can't the Army hire and screen these people?

2. The agency has probably been privatized under * 's Homeland Security

Them 9/11 investments just keeps paying dividends :woohoo:



P.S. please excuse for the flippant post but when a good majority of people wake up to how they been had by the crooks and clowns it might just really get hysterical :-)

ORLANDO — In his years as a diplomat in Argentina, Eduardo Blanchet learned how to navigate the often turbulent waters of international relations.

Blanchet and his company, BIB Consultants Inc. doing business as Berlitz Language Center of Orlando, have landed a five-year, $50 million contract for foreign language training to support U.S. special operations forces worldwide.

The deal represents the creation of roughly 70 new jobs over the next 12 months and the possibility of extended or additional work for the military.

3. If they'd been working on a farm as migrant workers they'd be ok

Hell, they'd even be given health insurance even though they weren't paying taxes.
