Blackwater goes too far

The question really is how many troops are there from the US and allies in Iraq. Don't just count the official numbers, count also those (privateers) that are paid a lot more then the troops for their exposure (and how much more and why?) and don't even get counted as US or allies casualties. I think the rue figures of death and woundeds would be too unpalatable to the US to re-elect a republican president, if the public knew.
