More on Victor Bout and the DOD

Seems like Victor Bout has not one, but two contracts with the DoD, one with the U.S. Army and one with the Marines. They run through the end of the year, and haven't been cancelled because of legal issues involved. I find it hard to believe Victor would actually sue, but who knows. An American contractor (whose name I do not yet have) subcontracted out the work to Bout. The business is apparently being handled by Victor's brother, Sergei, while Victor remains in Moscow. There have been several high level meetings at State Department and DoD to try to figure out how to get out of the contracts, which everyone now seems to agree are poison. But is seems a contract is a contract, even with a wanted criminal with an Interpol "Red Notice" and arrest requests, whose assets have been frozen by both the United Nations and the United States. Talk about iron-clad! More as it becomes available.
