Who pays to ship the bodies of the "contractors" back to the USA?

How is this handled? Are they shipped home on government planes? Do the management companies have their own planes? Are they given military honors?

1. When Bush decrees that the media can't film FedEx planes..

landing on US soil, you'll probably have your answer. Any company that puts staff in obvious danger for profit is liable to use any means, no matter how undignified, to get the bodies home.

2. AD&D policy

I would definitely sign up for that espcially if I found myself working in Iraq.

Poor suckers.

4. hey, they do have families who loved them

they were doing business for their company so I would think it's Blackwater's tab.

Not that there is much left to ship back, sad to say.

5. What I meant to say/convey was...

I don't really care who foots the bill. They were US citizens, so if it's aboard a gov't plane, fine, and if not, that's fine, too. I didn't mean to sound callous about their deaths. :hi:
