Re: [OT] [gzg hist] UN Covert Ops

Last night Here in Aust a show called 'Foreign Correspondent' did a
special 
on 'Serra Lione'(?). It was discussing how despite having 13,000 UN
peace 
keepers with more on the way the UN can't do what a company of South
African 
Merc's hired through 'Executive outcomes' did back in 96. Before world 
opinion and pressure forced them out. They also showed and interviewed
the 
only Merc unit left opperating there (on the government side). A Mi24 
helecopter gunship crew.

They also interviewed a british author who has written a book 'Deliver
us 
from Evil' on the possible use of 'Security Companies' in certain
situations 
as a cost effective way of doing what they obviously can't with the 3rd 
world troups they have too use.

I doubt it will get anywhere but I won't go into chapter and verse as to
why 
not. But it's food for thought.
