Kabul U.S. Embassy Guard: Sexual Deviancy Required for Promotion

Whistleblower Says Bosses Required Sex Acts for Guards Seeking Best shift, Promotion

By BRIAN ROSS, RHONDA SCHWARTZ and KIRIT RADIA

Sept. 2, 2009

Private security guards at the U.S. Embassy in Kabul were pressured to participate in naked pool parties and perform sex acts to gain promotions or assignment to preferable shifts, according to one of 12 guards who have gone public with their complaintsIn an interview with ABC News for broadcast tonight on the "World News with Charles Gibson," the guard, a U.S. military veteran, said top supervisors of the ArmorGroup were not only aware of the "deviant sexual acts" but helped to organize them.

"It was mostly the young guys fresh from the military who were told they had to participate," said the guard, who talked on a phone hook-up arranged by the Project on Government Oversight, which first revealed photographs of the parties.

"They were not gay but they knew what it took to get promoted," said the guard, spoke on condition that ABC News not publish his name.

The State Department said it was investigating the allegations and the circumstances surrounding the photographs which show naked and barely clothed men fondling one another. The guard who spoke with ABC News said the drunken parties had been held regularly for at least a year and a half.

The State Department renewed its contract with ArmorGroup to provide security at the Kabul embassy last month even though there have been a series of complaints about its performance.

In June 2007, the State Department warned "the security of the US embassy in Kabul is in jeopardy" because of "deficiencies" on the part of ArmorGroup.

Similar complaints were raised at a Senate hearing in June 2009 by Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO).

Sam Brinkley, vice-president of the ArmorGroup's corporate parent Wackenhut Services, defended the company's performance in Kabul.

"We are a guard company that prides itself in doing missions well," Brinkley testified.

Wackenhut did not immediately return requests for comment.

Dear President Obama, Attorney General Holder, Trustee Farmer, Mr. Guttman, Ms. Neustadter, Judge Kevin Chang, Judge David Ezra, and All Concerned:

Due to new discoveries of FACTS (not "conspiracy theories" or "political opinions" as Mr. Guttman has previously characterized my Motions) related to this lawsuit which I maintain is a "prior restraint" of my constitutional rights of Free Speech and a violation of Federal and State Anti-SLAPP statutes, I have updated the subject Exhibit which you will find on-line at:

http://sites.google.com/site/thecatbirdsnest/home/an-octopus-named-wackenhut-

Trustee Farmer and Mr. Guttman, in light of this mounting evidence of fraud, bad faith, breach of trust, breach of fiduciary duties, obstruction of justice, libel, slander, misprision of felony, undisclosed conflicts of interest, etc., provided by this witness description and these many supporting documents, I again propose to you that we attempt to NEGOTIATE a GLOBAL SETTLEMENT in this case as well as for the lawyers professional liability claims that I have previously submitted against you and your insurance carrier(s).

If you still refuse to enter into confidential settlement negotiations in a good-faith effort to settle these matters, then I ask that you perform your mandated review of this witness description in accordance with Judge Ezra's prior restraint Order and advise me, whether or not, it contains any so-called "protected subject matter".

If I do not receive a response within 15 days, I will consider this to be yet another act of bad faith on the part of you and your insurance carriers, and that you will not object to any future Motions that I may make to reopen this case.

Very truly yours,

Bobby N. Harmon, CPCU, ARM
