Private security guards have taken to shooting Iraqi civilians at random -- and then, with supreme arrogance, they have used the internet to display videotaped evidence of their marksmanship skills. Since the video first appeared on a site linked to the Aegis company, most presume that the guards worked for that firm.
The video is here, although I couldn't get it to run.
Expect to see much more of this sort of thing. As political realities compel a pull-out of American soldiers, much more of the heavy lifting will shift to hired thugs. That's when the real fun will begin. If you tell a mercenary "Your mission is to win the hearts of the Iraqi people," he'll take those words as license to remove organs with a bowie knife.
These gentlemen have had their wallets stuffed with many a taxpayer dollar. How much cash are we talking about? Half a billion, some say. Others speak of a much higher figure.
Here's the kicker: You remember those supposedly "free" elections which put our puppets into pseudo-power in Iraq? Well, guess who collected the ballots...?

Why, Joseph, you wouldn't be slyly referring to the infamous missing nine billion, would you? I always thought that money went straight into Halliburton's pockets, but...well, who knows what Halliburton or any other government thief who may have "redistributed" it, actually did with that cash?
