Oversight Committee suggests US embassy involvement in 22-year-old’s sham weapons deal
By Nick Juliano * Uncategorized * Monday, 23 June 2008
Update: Committee schedules hearing for Tuesday
The US Embassy in Albania approved an effort to conceal the illegal Chinese origin of ammunition provided to troops in Afghanistan under a Pentagon contract by a just-indicted 22-year-old Florida man, according to an investigation by the House Oversight Committee.

In a 10-page letter to Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice, Chairman Henry Waxman reviewed the committee’s findings in its investigation of AEY Inc., a start-up contractor that received up to $300 million in Pentagon contracts.

“The Oversight Committee has received information that the U.S. Ambassador to Albania held a late-night meeting with the Albanian Defense Minister at which the Ambassador approved removing evidence of the illegal Chinese origins of ammunition being shipped from Albania to Afghanistan by a U.S. contractor,” Waxman wrote. “The Committee has also received information that State Department officials. tried to conceal this information from the Committee.”

The committee announced its investigation in March after a report revealed that AEY’s 22-year-old CEO, Efraim E. Diveroli, was selling shoddy, decades old, Chinese manufactured munitions to US and Afghan forces.

Why does this article not name the ambassador?

well since the contractor was only 22, perhaps the ambassador was under 18 and thus could not be named since he was a minor.

Seriously, what the hell is a 22 year old getting a 300 million dollar contract for?

A contractor can get a government contract without putting forth his age.

Its what you get with low bid contract awards.

And farherland security does no background checks on arms dealers before contracts are awarded ? This deal is just so wrong on so many levels.
 
You would think an FBI background check would be part of this deal sense they guy is dealing in weapons.
 
When the Bushistas are out of office there will be a shitload of scandals and conspiracies uncovered. One reason why this FISA legislation is so important to them is becauyse it covers their asses when some of these scandals reveal themselves.

This has been a seriously incompetent and criminal administration .. and they've been there for 8 years .. a serious indictment of the American people and our system of governance.
 
Lets remember they cheated their way into office with the help of corporations.

Lets get our money back from the corporations who are responsible.

This will give the advantage to the corporations who acted like patriots and didnt join the money grap.
