We found this information through Kathryn Cramer, whose blog has been doing a spectacular job of digging up the facts about the US-hired mercenaries that are doing security work in Iraq.

So if I understand correctly, IN ADDITION TO the 20,000 "civilian contractors" running around Iraq with guns, there are another 14,000 Iraqis at Chalabi's disposal, paid for by U.S. taxpayers. (Yes, they're guarding the oil, but for whom are they guarding it?)
