Mercenaries to Peacemakers?

Scandals Confront Military Security Industry

Wherever Tim Spicer turns up, he carries the kind of baggage that gives the private military business a bad name. An internet video showing private contractors shooting at civilian cars in Iraq, loosely linked to his company, has ignited a firestorm about unregulated gun-wielding security convoys, escorting reconstruction or government advisors, roaming the country.

This latest scandal comes at a time when the military security industry is reaping huge profits from the gun-carrying business in conflict zones around the world once dominated by rogue soldiers of fortune. As thousands of armed guards, working largely under U.S. contracts, travel the roads of Iraq, the industry is seeking respectability though a Washington trade group -- the International Peace Operations Association (IPOA).

The group calls itself “the most ethical and effective voice of the Peace and Stability Industry,” pledged to ensure that “their capabilities are not misused or abused.” Its members include industry heavy hitters like ArmorGroup, Blackwater, Hart, MPRI, the Olive Group and Triple Canopy.

Watch the video here.

And then the military clears these scumbags..................
And you think we're going to get the truth with the Haditha incident in Iraq??


Contractors Cleared in Videotaped Attacks

Army Fails to Find 'Probable Cause' In Machine-Gunning of Cars in Iraq

BAGHDAD, June 10 -- The U.S. military has concluded its investigation into a video that appeared to show private security contractors shooting at civilian vehicles driving on highways in Iraq and determined that no one involved will be charged with a crime, a military spokesman in Baghdad said.

Agents with the Army's Criminal Investigation Division "reviewed the facts available concerning the incident to determine if there was any potential criminality that falls within CID's investigative purview," Maj. Timothy Keefe said in a written statement. "The review determined that no further investigative effort on the part of Army CID was warranted."

The investigation, which officials have not released or discussed publicly, began after the video was posted on an Internet site purportedly run by employees of Aegis Defense Services, a London-based firm with a $293 million U.S. government security contract -- the largest of any security firm working in Iraq.

An Aegis spokeswoman, Sarah Pearson, declined to comment on the findings, saying the company had not yet seen the report. She also would not comment on the company's internal investigation into the matter.

You Are A Basher Of America, The President, And The Us Military.

[Skylark-69]

I see, so the MILITARY is lying. So let's go over your record of supporting our military so far.

1) They ARE guilty of attrocities-en masse
2) They are guilty of torture/and or bad treatment of prisoners-again, en masse
3) The Military habitually covers up these crimes.

Yup, you suuurre support our men in uniform...to their faces.

ANSWER:

LOL Good Question.

[Skylark-69]

Qwik, you are only showing what a hypocrite you are with such posts.

[Skylark-69]

Here NYGN's (OBGN86) view on "forcing" freedom on others.

Ask the common people of Viet Nam if they are happy and the answer will be a resounding YES. All they want is to be left to live in their country governed by their people,be it communist or democratic,. I would think that the people of Iraq want to now decide their own fate,be it democratic or whatever, without interference from anyone.

Does anyone here trust this guy's political opinions after reading the stupidy that escaped his mind? Happy to be living in a Communist country.

[Red Regal T]

Not understanding that you can't speak your mind in a Communist country, is the height of stupidity.

Thread locked.

Qwik.....not happening and you know better. The fact that you do know better and chose to post anyway will earn you a vacation....expect a PM shortly.

[BlownZ]

Qwik...privileges removed for a period of at least 30 days. Email or PM me after that period of time has passed to have your privileges reinstated.

[Skylark-69]

Guess Qwik can't post the f-bomb. Ooops. Blown, IMHO this thread should have stayed locked. It's only purpose is to cause trouble.
