WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal prosecutors are investigating whether employees of the private security firm Blackwater USA illegally smuggled into Iraq weapons that may have been sold on the black market and ended up in the hands of a U.S.-designated terrorist organization, officials said Friday.That's always nice to know ... We have U.S. private contractors selling weapons to the insurgents so they can kill our soldiers and marines?
Since we have, by some accounts, 100,000 private contractors in Iraq, and they are being paid 5 to 10 times more than our average grunt, maybe they should trade jobs --
Let the contractors patrol the streets of Baghdad and Ramadi, and the troops guard the Green Zone and 'diplomatic convoys'.
