You're absolutely correct. That's exactly what Blackwater and firms like it are doing.
"Privatized corporate military operations now draw an estimated $100 billion in business worldwide each year -- much of it going to top U.S. corporations like Halliburton, DynCorp, Lockheed Martin, Grumman, and Raytheon. The military-industrial companies that once just created the guns and warplanes now provide mercenary forces for "privately" carrying out the military attacks and defoliation-- especially in Colombia where large numbers of "contractors" serve as agents and trainers for the U.S government.
Over 15,000 military "contractors" are now stationed in Iraq, working for dozens of companies--a force larger than the British contingent in the war zone.
<snip>
Such "contract" soldiers have had a free hand in threatening and killing Iraqi people. A former Special Forces member documented ( Washington Times , October 6, 2003) that military contractors guarding ministries on behalf of coalition authorities repeatedly killed Iraqis--without punishment or inquiry."

Quote by: xyzer Why else are the political and religious leaders of most Islamic nations so reticent in suppressing the terrorist movements and its supporters in their nations? |
And why are the religious leaders in America so reticent about suppressing the immoral actions of the bush administration? When are our own religious leaders going to speak out against the abuses of Guantanamo and the practice of rendition? When are our churches going to become vocal about the abuses and violations of our own Constitution?
