        • I started reading Catch-22 the other day. After reading the first few chapters, I wouldn't call it a masterpiece, but I like it.
          You just wasted six ... no, seven ... seconds of your life reading this sentence.

                        You will probably find Corporate Warriors: The Rise of the Privatized Military Industry by P.W. Singer to be interesting as well. Goes beyond just Iraq and covers uses of private military companies in the distant past, and more recent times (Executive Outcomes in Africa, other corporations besides Blackwater in the U.S., etc.)
