In other news from Iraq, four former private security contractors who worked in Iraq have told NBC News that they witnessed private contractors kill innocent Iraqi civilians. Retired Army Ranger Captian Bill Craun said”What we saw, I know the American population wouldn’t stand for.” Contractors reportedly terrorized civilians, shooting indiscriminately as they ran for cover, smashing into and shooting up cars. Craun quit after seeing innocent Iraqi teenagers shot dead on the street. In an email after the incident Craun wrote “I didn’t want any part of an organization that deliberately murders children and innocent civilians.” Another contractor quit saying he didn’t want to witness anything that could be classified as a war crime.
