Is it just me or has there been very few  security contractor related news stories over these past few weeks?  I am not complaining mind you, actually it&#8217;s quite nice to have the industry off the front pages, the blogs, C-SPAN and the nightly news.  It makes you wonder how [...]]]></description>

Recent allegations of misconduct, failing to meet contractual obligations, (to say nothing of just general stupidity and juvenile antics) by Armor Group staff at the U.S. Embassy in Kabul raises serious questions about leadership both at Armor Group and at the U.S. State Department.
