Letter: Contractors are least of our worries in Iraq

Sunday, Oct. 7, 2007 | 7:21 a.m.

Blackwater USA, a private security firm, was hired by our government to protect VIPs in or visiting Iraq. It has been getting a lot of press lately over recent events involving the deaths of innocent Iraqis in a gun battle after they were attacked while protecting a government official.

If only we could get this much concern over Sunni and Shiite death squads who kill each other, and last but not least al-Qaida in Iraq, which has killed everybody, including women and children, in the name of Allah. Maybe this tragic war could be over by now if everybody put this much attention on the real enemies of Iraq.
