Blackwater
In Iraq the American government uses the private militia called Blackwater to do things which would probably be illegal for members of the American military to perform.
The U.S. embassy in Iraq employs 1,000 armed Blackwater staff to do various duties which they either do not have 
sufficient confidence that the American military will perform adequately, or those functions which would be so deep into the legal grey area that it would be inappropriate for the embassy to ask the U.S. military to do them.
The latest incident may end up being one of the more serious ones involved in the ongoing downfall of Blackwater.
In Bagdad the so called security guards of Blackwater (which are increasingly referred to as the American Gestapo) have shot and killed the dog of the New York Times. The New York Times has been a frequent critic of the heavy-handed and sometimes illegal tactics employed by Blackwater.
When Blackwater staff kill innocent rag heads, even completely innocent women and children bystanders, there is a certain amount of short-lived outrage among voters in America. But killing the New York Times dog?

What brutality! They’ve gone way too far this time.
