#1 The embassy said the three killed were two Ugandans and a Peruvian who worked for a U.S. ggovernment security contractor.

Shouldn't it read UN Peace Corp instead of US government security contractor?

#2 Shouldn't the State Department start a count of folks in their employ killed or wounded as they build up their own security forces that replace the US Military in Iraq?

If it's important information w/r to for the military it should be for the State Dept as well.

I know; fat chance.
