Bowen had been trying to review a February 2004 contract to DynCorp awarded by the State Department�s Bureau for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL). The company was to provide housing, food, security, facilities, training support, law enforcement staff with various specialties as well as weapons and armor for personnel assigned to the program.
