The demand responds to denunciations on crimes
against the Iraqi population recently revealed in Wikileaks.
According to Pillai, Washington and Bagdad knew of the crimes
and abuses.
Without a doubt the documents that were revealed to the public
by Wikileaks confirmed something that some how everyone knew
already and exploded with the first photos of the Iraqi Abu
Ghraib prison, where US soldiers committed countless numbers of
abuses against prisoners.
During those days, everyone knew that torture was an official
measure responding to orders from the Defense Department and
with the full knowledge and approval of the White House.
Now the manipulated number of dead Iraqi civilians killed by
occupation troops is much higher, almost 15 000 people, to the
official statistics.
And in that blood orgy the rented soldiers belonging to the
security agencies that operate in the Iraqi cities are also
responsible.
The issue is that rented war becomes profitable for the official
authorities committed to conflicts.
The Blackwater firm for example has permanently worked in the so
called protection of the US diplomats in Iraq with contracts
which amount to some 500 million dollars.
Attributed to them are killing civilians, attacks against
private vehicles, violent inspections and abuses against
prisoners.
However, when Barack Obama announced the alleged withdrawal of
US forces
in Iraq it was clear that the number of the “soldiers of
fortune” would
increase in the occupied nation.
This would mean replacing the soldiers for disguised
mercenaries.
Last October 28th, Democracy Now web site
denounced that the regime in
Kabul postponed the application of a decree that the private
military firm operating in Afghanistan must end.
President Hamid Karzai had announced the conclusion to these
death companies for the end of the year, but changed his mind
due to new instructions of US authorities.
According to Democracy Now, “the Obama government had warned
that the end
to the mercenaries could risk the assistance and development
project in
Afghanistan”.
In other words, the mercenaries at the service of Washington
will not end
in the so called US fight against terrorism.
