#1 This may actually be aboveboard. The temptation to create a private army in Iraq must be great.

#2 That is certainly one way to shut down those unsightly US State Department visits downtown. Time to shut it all down down and gring everyone home. We did our best, Saddam is gone, let them slug it out on their own. That's the Islamic way.

#3 Confiscation of 20,000 rounds? Not much. And what are 300 armored shields? Is this body armor/ballistic vests? There must be millions of arms in Iraq left over from the days of Saddam. There must be a jillion AK-47s kept by Iraqi families for wedding ceremonies. Just PO'd about the U.S. judge's ruling and trying to save face?

#4 This means that security contractors will now be one of only two or three demographic groups in Iraq that do not have their own militia.
