Can we identify the U.S. Security Companies involved in the Leon torture training?  Normally, if a foreign government hires a "U.S. Private Security Company" it is done under a contract deal usually through the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) that for some reason, instead of spending our tax-payer's monies in helping the poor and developing better community based initiatives, have decided instead spending millions of dollars from our U.S. government coffers, to support questionable police training initiatives.  Hope with the new sheriff in town in January 2009, we will see less "mercenaries" for hire getting paid with USAID funds to allegedly "train" foreign police officials about "basic police and criminal investigative techinques" when these "mercenaries" or "former U.S. armed special forces" can barely write and spell their own names.   Sometimes, it is necessary to hire and send these former "US armed special forces" to a foreign country to teach and train lawful military techniques.....but they lack the credentials and expertise to teach U.S. based law enforcement and criminal investigative techniques.
