Mr. Kelly briefed reporters and answered questions about a number of issues including private security contracts in Iraq. He said that the State Department had temporarily extended the contract for the company formerly known as Blackwater, even though the business was denied an Iraqi government license to operate in the country.

He also talked about allegations of mismanagement and misbehavior involving hazing rituals by employees of another contractor, ArmorGroup, which provides security at the United States Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan. close
