it zeroed in on the corporate involvement re paramilitary and directly acting "corporate entities" working side by side with our military forces in Iraq as well as Afghanistan and other undisclosed locations around the world, Yeah... certainly a controversial and sensitive issue. But we're seeing more and more private security companies providing such services.. Saw something the other day about a company providing maritime security for an African country (can't remember which).. Who needs a navy when you can outsource it?? Some folks would call them mercenaries.. It's a fine line.. But bottom line is that they provide an invaluable service indeed.. The ones we have on our camp (trigger pullers), keep to themselves pretty much.. But it's heartening to know they are there as a QRF (quick reaction force) should someone slip through the perimeter.. As for a good cigar, unless you have the same access to Cubans I have, that's going to be tough to come up with... ;0) Be well.. Hawk
