There are as many or more than 180,000 private contractors in Iraq today – outnumbering U.S. military forces there – and thousands more in Afghanistan. A significant proportion of the contractors in Iraq – as many as fifty thousand or more – are armed and carrying out military-style security functions, many of them for a welter of U.S. government agencies. But while the ranks of these private security contractors (PSCs) have grown and with them incidents of serious criminal violations, the U.S. government has failed to establish any effective system for holding PSCs fielded by the U.S. government accountable for their actions. This situation has been most problematic in Iraq. But these issues are not unique to Iraq or Afghanistan, and they will continue after those particular operations are long over.
