Malaria

Richard,

I guess the "leaker" forgot the part about the one Ugandan guard who showed up in 2006 in Baghdad, as an active carrier of malaria. Yeah, that caused just a little drama for the boys.. Needless to say, I think he left the country rather quickly.

Gave us a chance to get some good dreams with the methlyquine (sp) though..

With a military force providing security, there's no doubt as to their status in accordance with the Geneva Conventions. With a private security force, there's always the stigma of borderline mercenary, and whether they have protections under the Geneva Conventions. Nice big gray area for the JAG to figure out.

With that said, there are some private companies that I trust, and then there are others like Blackwater/XE that I try to stay far away from.
