This is the Real Scary Thing in Afghanistan: Private Contractors

President Obama has said during his campaign that he would be sending more troops to Afghanistan. So, all the folks that are wringing their hands over this really should not act so surprised. The scary thing going on with the "War on Terror" or whatever it is called now is the extent that private contractors are being used. I have always thought extensive use of private contractors in these wars seems irresponsible and dangerous. My fears is that we will be fighting the power of these contractors at some point in the future.

Here are some very scary statistics from Facing South's Sue Sturgis.
