Who's Running This War Anyway?
If armies of mercenaries have no oversight in Iraq, and are not held accountable by law, how do we really know whose side that they're on? By definition, mercenaries are in it for the money. This should concern everyone, since apparently mercenaries in Iraq exceed American troop strength. Who then is really running this war?
Quote from article:
"By one recent count, some 180,000 such contractors are now working in Iraq - more than the number of U.S. combat troops. Yet more than four years after the U.S. invasion, not one has been charged with a violent crime against an Iraqi.
One reason: Contractors operate in a legal gray area in which it's uncertain whether they're subject to civilian law, military law or neither."
