Государственный департамент выпускает экземпляры своих подрядов для приватных служб безопасности с Lodge и центром подготовки Blackwater и Советоватьть с обеспеченности Blackwater. Это будет здоровенным стогом 323 страниц, и он приходит с задвижкой:
Около 169 из страниц будут пуста или главным образом пробелы.
Я выпущены in response to свобода информации запрос поступка, подряды - worth up to $1.2 миллиарда - тяжело были redacted правительством. A State Department spokesman said the officials responsible for the cuts are simply trying to protect sensitive information that might put individuals at risk. He declined to say what kind of information was cut.
In a cover letter, the department notes that it “gave full consideration” to deletions recommended by Blackwater officials.
A close look at the pages that have not been cut reveals some choice tidbits. The “statement of work” on Page 13 explains why Blackwater was needed. “As a result of conflicts, wars, political unrest and more recently, terrorist activity, these areas have become extremely dangerous places in which to live and work,” the document says. “The Bureau of Diplomatic Security is unable to provide protective services on a long-term basis from its pool of Special Agents.”
Page 35 specifies that “All Contracting employees working under this contract should: Be well proportioned in height and weight,” among other qualities.
One unnumbered item includes a long list of things. But because it’s surrounded by blank pages, it’s hard to know what the list means. Among the items mentioned: battery carrier tool, quick booster kit, heavy-duty work bench, distilled water and WD-40.
A “standards of conduct” section warns that “abusive or offensive language, quarreling, intimidation by words, actions, or fighting, is considered unacceptable performance under this contract.”
