Blackwater: 世界の上昇か。sほとんどの強力な金目当ての軍隊
日曜日、2007年8月19日
によって ジェレミーScahill Blackwaterは様々な戦争のアメリカのための不正行為を、隠れ家する私達がすべてについて余りによく知っているそれら民間会社であり。 それはノースカロライナの大きく陰気な泥地の一種の陽気なpaintballそして射撃練習場として前に10年だけ始まったが、このごろ本の約20,000人の傭兵がある(か。戦争の売春婦か。)、ある程度軍の航空機の全束、正確に述べないため右の人々が付いている銃そして関係の軍用基地、多くおよび多くを。 それはErik王子、ミシガン州の目立ってunlikable、不潔豊富な王朝から呼ぶ右の中心のローマカトリック教の熱狂者によって存在に幾分持って来られた。 王子はホワイトハウスの耳を持ち、彼の会社は保証仕事に沢山の非常にもうかると値をつけた契約の、例えば、イラク報酬を与えられたか。 Blackwaterか。sのほとんどの顕著な仕事は戦争の直後の米国の管理者として彼の言葉の間にくだらなで、熱狂的なLポールBremer IIIを守ることだった。 残念ながら、感じるかもしれないそれらは仕事をこの点で幾分よくし、Bremerは彼の任期を存続させた。 しかし他の所でBlackwaterは著しく破局的だった; 、目立って無分別な出撃の間にFallujahをunquelled人、自身の4時燃え上がらせた支部によって最も野蛮な方法のビットに待伏せされ、機関銃で撃たれ、そして切り刻まれて見つけられてだった。 彼らの分割されたボディは都市の橋の送電線の上で投げられたか。 そして殺害はより多くのBlackwaterの従業員によってもう一度助けられた米国の軍隊からの激烈で、致命的な報復を持って来た。 ほとんどある特定の死は差し向けることで怠慢だった、またはずっとより暗いゲームをし、(ブッシュの政体のcahootsで)効果的にアメリカに選択がなかった最も厳しい方法で答えるため残虐行為を設計するためにものへこれらの人を彼が無能であることをBlackwaterの責任にすればジェレミーScahillは、評判のジャーナリスト、かなり確実ではないし。 これはこれの別の方法で細かいところまで研究され、魅惑的な本中の再発問題の徴候である: 私達は疑いに著者がどこにに関してから、行政上来、彼のpeacenikの傾向が時々彼の判断を歪めるかない。 Given the chance, Scahill would blame Bush and Blackwater for every conceivable crime, all the time (for both gross incompetence and the most astonishing Machiavellian cunning, for example), when a less partial observer might suspect such qualities to be mutually exclusive. Also, and I write as someone who thought the war and occupation of Iraq woefully misguided and criminal, Scahill seems to have much more sympathy for the vicious and medieval Islamists of Fallujah who wish to murder every American on sight than he does for his own people, who want to kill Iraqis only when they themselves are under attack. Typical of the tenor of this book is the author?s pious opprobrium when a Blackwater soldier, alone under fire on three sides from 1,200 heavily armed and enraged Iraqis, dares issue the unfortunate exclamation ?nigger!?. This undoubted contravention of etiquette merits a couple of pages of concentrated hand-wringing. Appalling though it might seem to Scahill, Blackwater?s mercenary soldiers do not always behave in the manner of Polly Toynbee. They instead comprise macho retired US grunts, former Pinochet guardsmen, pensioned-off members of the Israeli Defence Force, white South African soldiers, cheap-as-chips Colombians and so on. The armed mercenary business is of a distinctly rightish political hue, I think it?s fair to say ? and Scahill spends far too long belabouring the point. Some Blackwater executive doesn?t have much time for homosexuals or abortionists ? no, you?re kidding? There are bigger issues here and Scahill, good journalist that he is, does eventually get on to them. First and foremost is Blackwater?s apparently cavalier attitude towards its employees and its utter lack of accountability. Scahill also does a fine job tying the firm, financially and politically, to the current Bush administration ? despite Prince?s considered view that George W is a lily-livered liberal, all too soft on queers and commies. The contracts roll in, usually without competition, and Blackwater cleans up, bending the rules of engagement by occasionally using what is euphemistically described as ?unapproved ammunition?, its euphemistically named contractors swanning around Baghdad and Fallujah armed to the teeth, wearing wraparound mirror shades, driving expensive SUVs. Clearly, though, they love their work for the excitement, comparatively high wages and other sundry spin-offs: ?The chicks dig it,? one cheerful Neanderthal mercenary proclaims of his high-risk, highly paid work. Scahill also discovers Blackwater ?contractors? setting up bases in former Russian secret-service headquarters in Georgia and Azerbaijan, their guns pointed in two directions: towards Russia, towards Iran. Ready for the next conflagration. There?s some evidence in the book that the firm was also involved in the ?renditioning? of prisoners, transporting suspects for interrogation to countries with an imperfect grasp of what is meant by human rights. Blackwater operates in a deliberately hazy area, a private company beholden to the state for its work, yet free from those legal and moral responsibilities imposed upon the state, nationally and internationally. Scahill reports that the same mirror shades, big guns and SUVs were seen tearing around New Orleans in the wake of hurricane Katrina, the contractors charged with the task of keeping order and ?confronting criminals?. If so, it is a scary development. You might hope that when the current US administration bites the dust, Blackwater might do so, too. But that would be a bit naive. The relationship between mercenary and government is now far too convenient and lucrative to be abandoned.
