Tension Grows Between US Soldiers and Mercenaries

Deborah Hastings of The Associated Press reports that mercenaries in Iraq
"operate with little or no supervision, accountable only to the firms employing
them. And as the country has plummeted toward anarchy and civil war, this
private army has been accused of indiscriminately firing at American and Iraqi
troops, and of shooting to death an unknown number of Iraqi citizens who got too
close to their heavily armed convoys."
