 DYNCORP AND SUBSIDIARIES FINAL DECISION   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
DynCorp and Subsidiaries, (Dyncorp or taxpayer) appeal from a March 3, 1997, informal conference decision of the Department of Revenue (DOR) which upheld the assessment of penalties for late filing.
Dyncorp contends that it exercised ordinary business care and prudence and took in good faith all steps reasonably necessary to comply with the multiplicity of state filing requirements that arose when the IRS issued its final determination of Dyncorp’s adjusted tax liabilities for 1985-1988 on December 7, 1995.
Dyncorp argues that given the tremendous task of amending 340 state returns, Dyncorp’s small tax staff, and the short time in which to refile, it acted responsibly in contracting with the Peat Marwick firm for assistance and in giving priority to meeting filing deadlines in those states where Dyncorp had potential refunds.

 AlterNet: DynCorp in Colombia: Outsourcing the Drug War
DynCorp also operates in Bolivia and Peru, in conflict zones where indigenous coca growers feel U.S. drug operations encroach on their cultural use of coca and their economic livelihood.
But by far the largest DynCorp operations are in Colombia, and according to its contract with the State Department, it has a "command and control" function in the field, apparently outside any government oversight.
DynCorp's day-to-day operations are overseen by a secretive clique of officials in the State Department's Narcotic Affairs Section (NAS) and the State Department's Air Wing, a group that includes unreformed cold warriors and leftovers from the Central American wars of the 1980's.

 t r u t h o u t - DynCorp Still Taking the Moral Low Ground
DynCorp holds the government contract in Bosnia-Herzegovina to hire and train U.N. police forces, and in June 1999 Bolkovac signed on for the project as one of DynCorp's 23,000 employees worldwide.
DynCorp heard their complaints and, rather than reward them for exposing outrageous sexual behavior that would be criminal even in the permissive United States, company officials took the moral low ground -- acting swiftly and decisively to fire the two whistle-blowers.
One might expect that DynCorp, which very well could be out of business should it be removed from the federal trough, would applaud the victory of Bolkovac and Johnston, or at a minimum the victory for sexually abused women and children around the world.

When DynCorp hired Kathryn Bolkovac to combat sexual abuse and sex trafficking of women from Eastern Europe to NATO and UN outposts in Bosnia, legalized brothels in Western Europe, etc., she began finding evidence that DynCorp officers were involved in this sexual slave trade.
