WP.  In response to the challenge of non-state networks intent on the destruction of the nation-state system, the US formulated its own non-state actors.  These corporate mercenaries are now creating their own network in response to US inaction.

Under assault by insurgents and unable to rely on U.S. and coalition troops for intelligence or help under duress, private security firms in Iraq have begun to band together in the past 48 hours, organizing what may effectively be the largest private army in the world, with its own rescue teams and pooled, sensitive intelligence.

The CPA's program management office has sought bids for a project to coordinate security among the 10 largest prime contractors and their subcontractors working on U.S.-backed reconstruction projects worth $18.4 billion. But the bids are still under review. In the meantime, the office is "trying to get at least some level of intelligence sanitized from the military that could be given to contractors," said Capt. Bruce A. Cole, spokesman for the program management office in Baghdad. That has not happened yet.  The firms, stunned by the casualties they suffered this week and by the lack of a military response, have begun banding together to share their own operations-center telephone numbers and tips on threats, as well as to organize ways to rescue one another in a crisis.

"Each private firm amounts to an individual battalion," said one U.S. government official familiar with the developments. "Now they are all coming together to build the largest security organization in the world."

Is this a return of the c ondotteiri?

New Network Tool Tries To Block Illegal
File Sharing


New Network Tool Tries To Block Illegal
File Sharing
04/21/2004 12:54 PM
Palisade Systems appears to be the first network monitoring company to license Audible Magic's technology for identifying song files, and claims that their new tool can stop illegal song file transfers in their tracks. There are a few other companies out there like Palisade, and I imagine they're all working on something similar. Announcements like this make the RIAA happy, but are unlikely to do very much. As the article points out, the technology doesn't work on encrypted systems - which is where file sharing programs are rapidly headed. Also, the company still hasn't demonstrated how well the technology works. It's likely that active file sharers will figure out ways around it within a day, making the technology somewhat worthless in the long run. Meanwhile, people who will get stopped are those who aren't necessarily trying to do anything illegal, but are just doing things like emailing themselves a song, so they can shift it from one computer to another. Once again, the industry will end up pushing file sharers further underground, but it's unlikely this will do much to slow down file sharing.

"If we can't hold ourselves up as an example of how to treat people with dignity and respect, we can't ask that other nations do that to our soldiers", says Brigadier General Mark Kimmett, deputy director of operations for the US military in Iraq of damning evidence of the use of torture in a US-run Iraqi prison. This sort of action is unacceptable on a human rights level, puts US forces at risk of revenge attacks and could jeopardise the strength of the coalition. It is important that we understand how such appalling human rights abuses have been allowed to take place.
