    Contractors going boom

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7128698.stm

    If a private security contractor is killed on active duty, you don't get any body bag pictures on the front pages. That means no bad publicity for the government

    Represented were some of the UK's most successful "mercenaries" - although that is not a term the BAPSC to keen to use.

    According to an official UN definition, a "mercenary" is someone who is "motivated to take part in hostilities essentially by the desire for private gain."

    Sounds like most of the projects I've worked on.
