Much has been written here and elsewhere about the insurgency's tactic of using civilians as shields. They will often shoot from the crowd hoping to evoke a lethal response which helps them win in the IO realm and possibly creates new recruits from those directly affected (i.e. those wounded or friends/family of those wounded or killed). Could this be more of the same? By pulling the credentials of this company, are we actually giving the terrorists what they want? They have previously attacked the UN and some of our smaller allies to get them to pull out of Iraq. Is this an updated version of that tactic?

Disclaimer: I am not advocating a blank check for contractors and believe that any contractors that violate the law should be held accountable.
