Letter to US Rep. David Price (D-NC) in Support of Accountability for US Contractors in Iraq and Afghanistan
We write to express our strong support for your proposed legislation, H.R. 2740, the MEJA Expansion and Enforcement Act of 2007. This bill would address a serious gap in accountability and oversight of criminal misconduct by private security contractors, which in practice now is virtually uncontrolled... [While] there have been several thousand “serious incident” reports involving security contractors in Iraq..., there has not been a single completed criminal prosecution.
