I think that a big portion of the outcry stems from the government feeling threatened by an organization that they can't bully into giving away freedoms. A well regulated militia being neseccary to the security of a free state...

The government is not the problem. Uncle Sugar is perfectly happy to keep using PMCs. The problem is other entities. First there are the paranoid types who see conspiricies in every shadow, the USG is building secret armies to take over the world blah blah blah. Then there are those in the government and the military who do not trust civilian contrators, sometimes with good cause. And then there the PMCs themselves, some of whom are bound and determined to engage in various forms of jackassery as eveidenced by the tapes that were mentioned in other posts.
