Iraq Security Contracts Will Continue

      The Washington Post says that the United States will continue to use private security contractors ( mercenaries ) in Iraq for the training of U.S. and Iraqi military officers in counterinsurgency.

   You may recall that there were problems with Aegis Defence Services Ltd. over their lack of screening  some of their employees back in 2004 and 2005.

   Anyway, the new contracts will once again prove to be very lucrative for the security companies in Iraq. Bush and Cheney will still make a few dollars off of this for their corporate sponsors and they will still have the benefit of having soldiers' in Iraq who are not accountable for their deeds.

   Yep! It is a typical Bush Crime Family method of operation.

Under the new contract now out for bids, the winner is to monitor all convoys, maintain a Web site, provide "Iraq-wide unclassified daily reports," as well as "provide relevant and timely intel/ops reports throughout Iraq" -- referring to intelligence/operations reports.  Washington Post
