Michigan U.S. Senator Carl Levin (Dem.) supposedly asked the State Department to look into the allegations of Dyncorp corruption. Nothing happened.
The name of Dyncorp surfaced once more in connection with the shoot down of the missionary plane in Peru. Early news reports identified the American "spotters" who fed the Peruvian pilots the targets as under contract to the CIA. It turns out they were actually contracted by Dyncorp which may or may not have had a contract with the CIA. Dyncorp "employees" are also involved in the "defoliating" campaign in Peru and Columbia reminiscent of the Agent Orange debacle in Vietnam.
Dyncorp is only one of a number of government "fronts" or "proprietaries" involved as surrogates around the world. Almost all of its $1.4 billion in 1999 revenue came from the U.S. Government. Its 1999 annual report stated a $4.4 billion backlog of government contracts. Its "extensive sampling" of public sector clients listed in the report includes almost every government agency except the CIA. Of course, it was not portrayed as a complete list.
