-Good program on Blackwater and other mercenaries tonight on PBS - the Bill Moyers' Journal. Did you realize that there are more mercenaries in Iraq now that US Military? 180000 to 170000. Makes me wonder what was the extent of mercenaries or extra military personnel in Vietnam. Makes me wonder if the American people would be more enraged if they realized that our government was paying for 350000 military type people in Iraq and that more than half of those were being paid three and four times as much as our men and women in uniform.
