Crazy? Like Foxes…

Had a chance to check out Scott's recent article in Harpers where he talks about the large number of mercs that the US has employed in Iraq.  He reviews the conflicts that have occurred between them and US & Iraqi troops, asking at the end: "Or are the contractors still shielded by their cronies in Washington?"
