For those of you who think that that its all above board to hire private contractors for war duties, please read this about Titan. I hope they lose their shirts! I copied this from an article in the Washington Post (I think); I'll get back to you with the link.

In recent weeks, as a result of its translation contracts, Titan is part of the scandal of
Iraqi detainees being abused at a prison outside Baghdad. At least one Titan
interpreter at the prison, Adel Nakhla, has been identified as a suspect, and John
Israel, who works for a Titan subcontractor, has been accused of lying to Army
investigators.
