Liberal Video about us Contractors
This is video is not unusual if you have the time to watch it. Phyllis Bennis is a left extreme liberal and I am shocked at myself that I watched the whole thing. Bennis throws the word Mercenary like no tomorrow. Unfortunately, she has got the meaning of Mercenary all wrong.
I am no mercenary as I love my country and still have my citizenship and passport and working for a prime contractor in the Middle East and Central Asia.

Hello...
The decision by the Bush Administration to regard non-uniformed fighters as enemy combatants with no Geneva rights leaves the fighting contractors like from Blackwater in a bad way, doesn't it? I mean, if you guys are captured by the other side, I know they aren't inclined to follow international law anyway, but at least you used to have cover to the rest of the world under consistency issues... It may have sounded good when BushCo were talking about the other side, but the precedent, the sauce for the gander, is not good overall.
