When The F.B.I. Plays BUSHCO-"Contractor"

[Mr. Shaman]

"The 88-page report documenting the overtime issues found the FBI had initially approved the policy of paying for 16-hour days because conditions were harsh, there were few recreational opportunities and employees were always "on call."

"Early in the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq FBI managers traveled to those war zones and saw first hand the challenges of a 24/7 threat environment. FBI employees lived with sniper attacks, mortar fire, and roadside bombs as part of their daily work environment. They attempted to adapt a long established domestic pay system for domestic law enforcement to unprecedented wartime assignments for FBI personnel."

Don't they know U.S. direct-employees are to expect minimal-compensation, so Blackwater can cash-in BIG-Time??!!! ​

Being paid for 16 hours a day is shameful. They should have been paid for 24 hours a day since it is dangerous to sleep in Iraq too.

I'm sure our country's other direct-employees feel-the-FBI's-pain. ​

"An unmarried sergeant given Iraq pay and relief from U.S. taxes makes about $83 to $85 a day, given time in service. A married sergeant with children makes about double that, $170 a day."

Then, ya' got the Merc-version......​

"According to data provided to the House panel, the average per-day pay to personnel Blackwater hired was $600. According to the schedule of rates, supplies and services attached to the contract, Blackwater charged Regency $1,075 a day for senior managers, $945 a day for middle managers and $815 a day for operators."
