Were those mercenaries there to protect a food convoy?

I don't know about you, but I think we're owed an explanation as to just what they were doing there.

2. Why are we owed an explaination?

Just curious.

[DrWeird]

3. Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

because we're they're employers?

[DarkPhenyx]

5. Oh.

OK, that's where you are coming from. Nevermind.

6. it's our tax dollars at work maybe?

Or at least if they were mercenaries who get killed they need to be identified as such and not just labelled "civilian contractors" by the press

[DarkPhenyx]

7. Mercenaries are civilian contractors.

They aren't a governmental agency.

4. wow. good find!

this needs wider distribution, most definitely.

The untold side of this little war, no?

Who knew we had mercenaries over there?

Just bizarre.

11. Anybody who's ever eaten MREs knows you don't have to protect

...the convoys. :eyes:

The Mercs were probably part of the four man private (plain clothes) "security teams" charged with going in by stealth and arresting-- or executing--Iraqi insurgents.

For what its worth, I'm sure they gave more than they got and took some BadGuys with them.

Bad Juju all around.
