This morning during the Armed Forces Committee hearings, Sen. Dole referenced 4 slain contractors from her home state in addition to Nick Berg before asking what the Armed Forces were doing to protect these "unarmed civilians" that were doing "God's work" in Iraq to help along the recondstruction process. She also called them heros. I would suggest that Sen. Dole owes the American public an apology for using known security contractors (i.e. mercenaries) as an example of how the U.S. armed forces are not doing enough to protect unarmed American civilian workers.
