"Private contractors".. Heh. More like mercenaries who don't fall under the uniform code of military justice. And seeinjg how there's no functional government in Iraq these people can do what they like and get away with it.

Rumsfeld bans camera phones

May 23, 2004

MOBILE phones fitted with digital cameras have been banned in US army installations in Iraq on orders from Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, The Business newspaper reported today.

Quoting a Pentagon source, the paper said the US Defence Department believes that some of the damning photos of US soldiers abusing Iraqis at Abu Ghraib prison near Baghdad were taken with camera phones.

"Digital cameras, camcorders and cellphones with cameras have been prohibited in military compounds in Iraq," it said, adding that a "total ban throughout the US military" is in the works.

Disturbing new photos of Iraqi prisoner abuse, which the US government had reportedly tried to keep hidden, were published on Friday in the Washington Post newspaper.

The photos emerged along with details of testimony from inmates at Abu Ghraib who said they were sexually molested by female soldiers, beaten, sodomised and forced to eat food from toilets.

well didn't the rpice of oil rise very sharply after daddy Bush's last excursion in Iraq? - seems to be a pattern, but does that mean oil companies Bush works for get MORE cash, i guess so...

Oh yea. The way to solve the problem is to ban the cameras so that nobody can see the problem anymore. Brilliant.

And as for the mercenaries getting away with anything in Iraq, they pretty much get away with anything in the US. Why should Iraq be any different?
