That is the hope.  A recent internal State Department report says that the private contract aka mercenary army currently in Iraq may have to leave.  It is about time.  The idea of private armies is daunting and frightening.  Not only the fact that a corporation can have an army, but the fact that there are private armies for hire, loyal to no nation, willing to work for the highest bidder.  It is the profit driven equivalent of the extremist armies in Iraq, Pakistan and other places.  Where they are fighting for a cause, Blackwater and groups like them are fighting for profit.
