The B-Team 

Slate has an interesting piece on our hired guns working in Iraq. I've been posting a lot about these guys b/c it is a story now, but I think it'll be even bigger when the Iraq situation clears up. I bet there will be some Congressional hearings about more oversight in dealing with these contractors. I guess the Pentagon will basically suppport keeping them around, as support for our regular forces. However, I think some of our commanders in the field, would beg to differ. Many of the contractors are thought of as wanna be Rambos who aren't exactly making the lives of our soldiers any easier.

Update:

ABC News has more on contractors and who they answer to.
