Don, the CIA always needs cover, no less in Iraq than anywhere else. The CIA by its nature is the organization we would use for the really dirty, ugly things we need to do, or in Bush's case might just enjoy doing. The things we would not want the press and the world to know we are doing. Even in Iraq there are things we don't want the world to know we are doing, clearly, hence the news blackout from Falujah. I am just speculating that they might be more than just private security, but the story stinks. If they were guarding a food convoy, what happened to the food convoy? Its a bullshit story, obviously. I truly believe its one of two things; either they were guarding a food convoy, but then went off the reservation, cowboying out of testosterone induced exuberance joyriding throught the enemy stronghold, or they were CIA engaged in something so covert that the government will not admit to them and had to make up this "food convoy" ruse (how self-serving, they were humantitarians, not trained killers).
