Private Contractors and Torture at Abu Ghraib, Iraq is a good article over at Corporate Watch.

Two Washington Post writers have an article about the erosion of the line between soldiers and civilian contractors.

All of this points to President Eisenhower's fear of a military industrial complex coming true. Civilian contractors are taking over jobs that used to be performed by military personnel. Who are these people accountable to? In committee hearings before the Senate, General Taguba said his report on prison abuse only covers the soldiers being implicated, and not the contractors who were hired to run the interrogation of the prisoners.

While the soldiers face courts marshall, the contractors who are most likely responsible for the torture going on in these prisons, are not being held accountable.
