There is no military order, discipline or accountability among private contractors in Afghanistan and Pakistan, said RT contributor Wayne Madsen, therefore violations are inevitable.
New scandals involving private military contractors hired by the US are springing up.
Police in Pakistan have recently raided a security firm, Inter Risk, that protects the US Embassy, reportedly seizing about 70 unlicensed weapons and arresting two people.

“Obama’s take on healthcare an absolute moral outrage”More and more Americans believe Barack Obama has not delivered his promises on the economy, says US author and blogger David Swanson. |
I agree with Ack! Also my respect for RT contributor Wayne Madsen.There is NO TRUE,DEMOCRATIC,INDEPENDENT AND FREE PRESS in USA! Their policy at home and (world too) in Asia is a complete mess. USA citizens are manipulated by their own governments and press. World is very well aware of this fact. I sometimes ask myself when will those people in USA (if ever) see the real truth about nature of their own state! Obama promise of change never come true-HIS FIRST HOME WORK was to put in place a honest and truthful press in USA.There is a lot of fake facts sold to ordinary USA citizens. USA is not a democracy (democracies don't kill 23-27 million innocent people from 1945 with fake excuses-among other things) but I hope they will by one day-and with that a true press will be possible...Thank you!
Not a word of this story is being told by U.S. media.I think our news media is deliberately distracting us.Its nice to be able to hear what is happening in the real world.I hope the american public someday becomes aware of what our elected officials are doing while they distract us with an insane battle over public healthcare.
Private security and military contractors are no better than mercenaries created during Bush era or anyother presidents to conduct military adventures overseas and they should not be granted immunity from the law because it will set bad precedent, they operate under u.s diplomatic immunity? it is incredulous
