Thank you Andreas. If anyone hears information about who is to fund the contracts specified by the US government, please do let the list know. > The recruiter told the reporter > he could expect a salary of $80,000 plus 'hazard bonuses'. The highest calculation of the annual average salary in Iraq that I can produce is $3,000 (the CIA's 2001 GDP estimate of $59 bn divided by a population estimate of 20 mn). Iraqis have already been conscious that UN staff have been paid very generously from Iraq's oil income. If their occupiers are as well, then I imagine that relations will rapidly sour. More generally, on the question of DynCorp, I would benefit from contextual information: is DynCorp unusual in its series of scandals or is this something that typifies all similar firms?
