I think the government ought to terminate the contract with KBR on 90
days notice, and let the contractors sue. Screw 'em.

As for the private guards who go to Iraq for the big bucks, as I stated,
they are going there for the money and if they get killed, it isn't as
if they were military volunteers who went there. I don't feel a sense of
loss or sorrow for the moneygrubbing paramilitary types if they come
home in a box.

Interesting. Many of the paramilitary types are former military types
who can't find employment back at home.
I'd have a sense of sorrow for anyone who got killed trying to do their
job.

I'd of course feel a loss if and when these paramilitary contractors
were engaged in humanitarian efforts, such as guarding a convoy of
supplies heading to a clinic, or a convoy of food heading to a village.
or guarding a hospital.
