kidnapped contractors? Here we have the case of 2 Soldiers of Fortune that chose to go to Iraq to play army in exchange for mounds of US taxpayer money.
They were eventually captured as enemy combatants by Iraqis fighting against the occupation of their country.
Why does the US corporate media refer to Mercenary Soldiers of Fortune as contractors?
While they are, technically, under contract to the US government, the euphemism of "contractor" portrays the image that they are construction workers rather than paid killers that, as Blackwater showed us, frequently terrorize the Iraqi people.
Why does the US corporate media refer to their capture as being "kidnapped"?
They were in a war zone collecting a salary as Mercenary Soldiers of Fortune.
They are enemy combatants of the Iraqi people who are fighting against the occupation of Iraq.
They are akin to the Al-Qaeda militants being held in Guantanamo Bay, but the media never refers to Al Qaeda as having been kidnapped.
Why is there a double standard?
