A statement just released by Sen. Carl Levin (D-Mich.), whose Senate Armed Services Committee discovered widespread fraud in Blackwater’s previous Afghanistan contract, reacting to the news that the Government Accountability Office has, for the moment, scotched a bidfor training Afghan police that could have gone to the private security company:
“„“Too often, unrelated task orders are added onto already existing contracts, limiting the number of companies that can compete for valuable government business. The GAO’s decision makes it more likely that there will be full and fair competition among contractors. If this contract is re-bid and Blackwater is among the bidders, I hope that the Defense Department will take a close look at the company to determine if it is a suitable contracting partner for the U.S. government.”
