Wackenhut Corporation
Another reason is that after a six-month investigation,in the
course of which we spoke to more than 300 people, we believe we know
what the truck did contain-equipment necessary for the manufacture
of chemical weapons - and where it was headed: to Saddam Hussein’s
Iraq.And the Wackenhut Corporation-a publicly traded company with
strong ties to the CIA and federal contracts worth $200 million a
year-was making sure Saddam would be getting his equipment intact.The question is why.In 1954,George Wackenhut,then a 34-year old former FBI agent,
joined up with three other former FBI agents to open a company in
Miami called Special Agent Investigators Inc. The partnership was
neither successful nor harmonious-George once knocked partner Ed
Dubois unconscious to end a disagreement over the direction the
company would take-and in 1958,George bought out his partners.
