EOD Technology offices raided by Iraq reconstruction agents, other feds, page 1

Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, the FBI, and agents from the office the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction combed through offices at EOD's Roane County facility, loading up large boxes and hauling them to a back room.

Wonder what they are looking for?
Seems they hire people who have handed over sensitive info to the Taliban.
But, I thought they wanted to prosecute leakers?
HA! Looks like they need to prosecute a few of their own. EOD says they (US military) were well aware who was on the payroll.

A few months back, the United States Senate Armed Services Committee found that EOD Technology and other private security contractors relied on Afghani strongment to fulfill taxpayer paid contracts.

In one case, the government found EOD's background checks didn't find that the people it hired had previously given sensitive information to the Taliban. By contacting previous employers, the government was able to find out employees of EOD were actually fired from old jobs for the security breaches, then hired by EOD.
