Reply to "Outsourcing Iraq war a grave threat to democracy"

These are hardly Mercs, they are bodyguards. There are many security companys there. I would be most afraid of having Blackwater watch over me. They use the force on force approach, travel in large black SUVs with Helo escorts (usually 2) it is a parade each time they travel with flashing lights, sirens and the like. Kind of a shoot me I'm here mode of travel. Most of the security forces travel in non-descript up armor cars with great communication and tracking that goes straight to the govts central alarm station. There are probably more Britts filling these roles than americans. They are pretty good jobs, I think Blackwater starts at about 180K.
