No immunity for security contractors in Iraq
from ThinkProgress:



No immunity for security contractors in Iraq.»

One of the most contentious issues surrounding a long-term U.S.-Iraq security agreement is whether private security contractors should receive blanket legal immunity from Iraqi laws. However, buried today in a Washington Post article, reporter Karen DeYoung reveals that negotiators have agreed that security contractors “would be subject to Iraqi law,” a setback for the Bush administration. Negotiators are still working out the dates for a U.S. withdrawal from Iraq.

4. Why should Iraq allow US agreed immunity stay in effect once we leave?
