Collateral damage

Saddening report on the ˜involvement” of hired Arabic language hands in events in the now infamous Abu Ghraib prison where they are working under sub-contracts for coalition forces in Iraq:

"Titan has been providing translators for the Army in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba; Afghanistan; and Iraq under a long-term contract with the Army Intelligence and Security Command, or INSCOM. Titan will provide as many as 4,800 linguists and be paid up to $657 million, INSCOM spokeswoman Deborah Parker said.
Titan recently reported its revenue under the contract amounted to about $112.1 million in 2003.
INSCOM also awarded a $154.7 million contract in September to CACI “to provide mission support services at INSCOM sites, other national intelligence agency sites, and for other army tactical units worldwide."
