Along with the NYTimes piece on the military's assessment of just how close Iraq is to chaos, this little post that Josh Marshall makes seems to me to say as much about the current state of affairs in Iraq as anything I've seen. ---- (November 01, 2006 -- 04:03 PM EDT) I think this is what's called a bad sign (from the AP) ... Manhattan security company Kroll has withdrawn its bodyguard teams from Iraq and Afghanistan after it lost four workers in Iraq, its parent company said Wednesday. Michael Cherkasky, president and chief executive of Kroll owner Marsh & McLennan Cos., told The Associated Press that the business in the two countries wasn't worth risking the lives of their employees. Too dangerous for the hired paramilitaries. Late Update: Apparently Bechtel has just announced they're pulling out too. Iraq: Not secure enough for mercenaries. Helluva job. -- Josh Marshall talkingpointsmemo.com
