1. Many of the "private contractors" are actually mercenaries.
The estimated number of "security guards" in Iraq is 25,000 making them the second largest member of the coalition. The brits are down to 10,000 I think.

5. And they cannot be held liable for anything they do. At the beginning
of the war, the shrub signed an executive order to that effect.
