I've been wondering if one of the reasons the DoD is fighting to with-hold the Abu Ghraib photos and videos is not only the ghastly horrors purported to be shown but also the presence of 'contractors' (ie mercenaries) in the facility directing US enlisted personnel. Something that would be pretty hard to explain.
Interesting report here from Wayne Madsen:
"August 12, 2005 -- Pentagon outsources Iraqi security to mercenaries, international brigands, and coup plotters. The U.S. Army Contracting Agency, ignoring protests from human rights organizations, is defending its award of an Iraq Reconstruction Security Support Services (RSSS) contract to Aegis Defense Services of Great Britain. The CEO of Aegis is former Scots Guard Regiment Lt. Col Tim Spicer, a notorious international mercenary who has been connected to guerrilla wars, extrajudicial killings, and coups in Africa, Asia, Europe, and the South Pacific."... http://tinyurl.com/ddhv8
