The United States is relying heavily on private firms to supply a
wide variety of services in Iraq, including security. Based on the
information available in published sources, this is the first time
that the United States has depended on contractors to provide such
extensive security in a hostile environment, although it has
previously contracted for more limited security services in
Afghanistan, Bosnia, and elsewhere. This book summarises what is
currently known publically about companies that provide personnel
for security missions in Iraq and some sources of controversy
surrounding them. A treatment of legal status and authorities
follows, including an overview of relevant international law as
well as Iraqi law, which currently consists primarily of Coalition
Provisional Authority (CPA) orders that remain in effect until
superseded. The various possible means for prosecuting contractors
under U.S. law in civilian or military courts are also detailed,
followed by a discussion of possible issues for Congress. This is
an edited, excerpted and augmented edition of various government
publications.
