Breaking news from CNN: Iraq contractors make billions on the front line.

Private military contractors are earning billions of dollars in Iraq — much of it from U.S. taxpayers. Business is booming for those willing to tackle one of the most dangerous jobs on Earth. Lucrative U.S. government contracts go to firms called on to provide security for projects and personnel — jobs that in previous conflicts have been done by the military.

Gee, REALLY? No one ever thought about this before. Ever.
