"Custer" and "Battles" Terrorize Iraq

U.S. contractors in Iraq allege abuses
Four men say they witnessed shooting of unarmed civilians :: from www.uruknet.info :: news from occupied Iraq


This is not the firm’s first brush with controversy. Custer Battles is a relatively new company in the booming field of so-called "private military companies" in Iraq providing veteran soldiers from around the world for various security jobs. Named for founders Michael Battles and Scott Custer, who are military veterans, the company quickly nabbed lucrative contracts in Iraq, where U.S. authorities needed firms who were willing to accept high-risk assignments.

"Michael Battles" and "Scott Custer"? Is this for real?
