on june 12, wackenhut submits a corrective action plan and doesn't implement it.in july, they renew the contract. if you have an issue with any of the instances that i just raised with you, then tell me that, but if this timeline is accurate to the best of your knowledge s that the upward trajectory that in this argument it justified the first option? >> if you take those incidents in conjunction with the staffing on the post and that is the -- that is the combination of events, commissioner. >> i'm not sure i understand that answer, but let's take this year, 2009. in the spring there was that reconnaissance mission that we talked about earlier, operation snack pack. in march, the state department tell us armor group that it has great concern for the number of guards. on april 1st, the state department denies armor group's request to meet language proficiency requirements. a huge number of the guards can't speak english well enough to understand instructions, and then, of course, was there this june 15 party which our understanding at the state department was not

jill dougherty, cnn, the state department. >>> and i should add that we made a call to wackenhut, and we are told that we will get a statement sometime today. we'll bring it to you as soon as we get it. >>> in the meantime let's talk a little bit more about the allegations and what happens next with the executive director of government oversight, you saw her in that piece. danielle brian. hazing is one thing, okay, the immature behavior we can talk about in a second, but, you know, this is the embassy. this is where your vips are, the ones that are making, you know, crucial decisions about war activity in a war zone. and you're talking about guys that are -- are carrying on security that don't even speak engli english, they're using pantomime and hand signals to get their point across. >> it's just ridiculous. because we began hearing from guards that we really considered this crisis situation that we started working around the clock. we only started this investigation about two weeks ago, because we thought there is so much urgency in dealing with this given the mission that these me

did you ask wackenhut to remove the managers or to require it?>> we ask them to remove the managers and that they had not removed them, we would have required it. >> ok, was that their first suggestion? >> it was our suggestion. >> thank you. >> it was our strong suggestion. >> we will go to commissioner irvin. >> everyone who has seen these photographs of this june 15 incident are outraged by it and shocked. the same is true for the other behavior we are aware of in august. no one would disagree with that. i am also very much troubled by the state department's repeated characterization, not just of these incidents, but of a whole litany of problems of the course of two years with this contract. both in secretary clinton's response to senator mccasdkel and mr. mosiers testimony in june and the extensive colloquy he had with them. the statement draws a distinction, attempt to draw a distinction, between contract compliance and the security of the embassy. despite the administrative deficiencies, the department did not observe any breach of the mis

>> it is not currently a member. >> is wackenhut a member? >> no, not at this point. i am trying to understand it the organization -- my sense is a good housekeeping stamp of approval without the good housekeeping. i am not being facetious there. i want to understand what teeth are in your code of conduct. you go to break ranks in a statement to talk about your standards of conduct committee and tell anyone can file a complete effort that is anyone, any member company, and a journalist, any entity? >> based on our code of conduct. >> has anyone yet cents pogo went public with this gross misconduct, has any complete and filed against armor group, the u.s. side are wackenhut next. >> at this point we hold the complete until later in the opposite. >> you won't tell us today? >> i would rather not. >> we try to keep the system -- >> have you filed a complaint? >> i am filing a complaint now. >> i will send you information on filing. i want to see what happens to this code of conduct. >> as the complete moves forward. >> i am filing a complaint against armor group for the

>> it means it can be we competed at any time -- recompeted at any time. >> you could exclude wackenhut from the competition? >> that, i do not know. >> i just wanted to clarify that the black water contract in iraq, a couple of weeks ago, you seemed pretty clear that another company would take over the contract. when did you realize you had the certification and manning issues that made impossible to move the blackwater people out on schedule? >> as you know, we had arranged for a temporary extension of the contract, which i understand is called the u.s. training center. as you know, this was supposed to transition out today -- tomorrow. they came to us and ask for additional time last week. >> it was extended for how long? >> it is mostly an equipment issue, as i understand it. the exact time, i did not know. i will say that is a temporary extension. >> >> have a registered an objection? >> i am not aware that they have registered an objection. >> who is paying for the transition? >> according to the contract, dynacorp was supposed to take over tomorrow. we will have to look at and ju
