Tyrrell, a spokeswoman for Blackwater Inc., whose security guards have been involved in some of the most controversial incidents in Iraq, including the Sept. 16, 2007, shooting at al Nisoor Square in Baghdad. “我们仍在试图理解它说, ”安妮体育泰瑞尔的一位发言人黑水公司的保安人员已参与的一些最有争议的事件在伊拉克,包括二○○七年9月16日,射击在al Nisoor广场在巴格达。 An order signed in 2003 by L. Paul Bremer, then head of the Coalition Provisional Authority that governed Iraq, granted private security guards immunity from prosecution under Iraqi law.签署的命令于2003年由保罗布雷默,然后头联军临时权力机构管辖伊拉克,授予私人警卫免于起诉根据伊拉克法律。 In the ensuing years, private security contractors became critical to US operations in Iraq, guarding State Department convoys and undertaking other critical military missions.在随后的几年,私营保安承包商成为至关重要的美国在伊拉克的行动,保卫美国国务院车队和开展其他重要军事任务。 Contractors were often involved in controversial incidents, including the killing of a bodyguard to Iraqi Vice President Adil Abdel Mahdi.承包商往往涉及争议的事件,包括杀害了一名保镖伊拉克副总统阿迪勒阿卜杜勒迈赫迪。 Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al Maliki insisted that they be accountable to Iraqi law under the new security deal.伊拉克总理马利基坚持认为,他们负责根据伊拉克法律的新的安全协议。 But the question of whether Iraqis could use the agreement to prosecute contractors for previous incidents wasn’t addressed in the new agreement.但问题是否可以使用伊拉克人的协议起诉承包商以往事件中没有涉及新的协议。 When security company officials asked Thursday, “We told them that’sa question we don’t know the answer to,” said a State Department official, who spoke to reporters about the meetings under the condition of anonymity.当保安公司官员周四问道, “我们告诉他们,这是一个问题,我们不知道的答案说, ”美国国务院官员,谁向记者有关会议的情况下不愿透露姓名。 A Defense Department official who also participated in the briefing under the condition of anonymity added that many contractors are taking a “wait-and-see attitude.”一位国防部官员谁也参加了通报的情况下不愿透露姓名的补充说,许多承包商采取“观望态度” 。 The State Department official said he couldn’t comment on whether the matter had been raised in discussions with the Iraqis, but said the US will bring the contractors’ concerns to them.美国国务院官员说,他不能评论此事是否已经提出在商谈合作的伊拉克人,但他表示,美国将承办商的关注他们。 He also said US officials didn’t know how the agreement would affect the ability of American civilian officials to move around Iraq.他还表示,美国官员不知道该协定将影响到美国文职官员走动伊拉克。 State Department employees currently are protected almost exclusively by private security guards as they travel away from the US Embassy.国务院员工目前的保护几乎完全由私人警卫因为他们的旅行距离美国使馆。 However, the agreement addresses only security contractors working with US military forces.然而,该协议只涉及安全工作的承包商与美国的军事部队。 We are in “diplomatic engagement with the Iraqis” on the matter, the State Department official said.我们正处在“外交接触与伊拉克人”关于这个问题,美国国务院官员说。 The failure of the agreement to clarify issues about security contractors comes as some military officials have questioned whether the agreement doesn’t give Iraq more control of US military activities than US officials had contemplated when they began negotiating the agreement last spring.失败的协议,以澄清有关安全问题的承包商是一些军事官员曾质疑是否该协议并没有给伊拉克更多的控制权,美国的军事活动,而不是美国官员曾设想时,他们开始谈判的协议去年春天。 US officials have told McClatchy that the Bush administration was eager to complete the deal before it leaves office in January and acquiesced to many Iraqi demands, including deleting sections that would have allowed the Americans to delay their departure if security conditions deteriorated.美国官员曾告诉麦克拉奇,布什政府急于完成交易之前离开办公室在1月和默许了许多伊拉克的要求,包括删去部分,将允许美国人毫不拖延地离开,如果安全条件恶化。 Currently, the agreement requires all US forces to be out of Iraq by the end of 2011.目前,该协议要求所有美国军队必须撤出伊拉克的到2011年底。 The US hasn’t released an English-language version of the agreement, but the Arabic version distributed by the Iraqis calls the accord a “withdrawal agreement.”美国还没有发行英文版本的协议,但阿拉伯文版散发的呼吁伊拉克人的协议是“退出协议。 ” As part of the accord, which US and Iraqi officials signed in Baghdad on Monday, effective Jan. 1, the US cannot conduct missions without approval from the Iraqi government.作为这项协议,其中美国和伊拉克官员在巴格达签署星期一,有效1月1日起,美国不能进行任务从未经批准的伊拉克政府。 Iraq also will assume control of the US-fortified Green Zone in Baghdad and of the nation’s airspace on Jan. 1.伊拉克也将承担控制的美国森严的绿区在巴格达和国家的领空1月1日。 Representatives of 172 contracting companies were invited to Thursday’s briefings on the agreement.代表172个承包公司被邀请周四的简报协议。 The companies provide a wide array of services, such as security and laundry, and their 173,000 employees outnumber the 150,000 US military personnel now in Iraq.该公司提供各种各样的服务,如安全和洗衣店,和他们的雇员人数超过17.3万的150000美军人员在伊拉克的现在。 Have Your Say: Contractors in Iraq could face charges in earlier incidents 你说:承包商在伊拉克可能面临的指控在以前的事件 Please read our请仔细阅读我们的 posting guidelines before posting张贴在发布前的指导方针 . 。 Alternatively或者 you can discuss this report here你可以讨论这份报告在这里 . 。 Related News 相关新闻
