Aegis In Iraq
WP has a status report detailing Aegis’ pseudo-independent efforts at counterinsurgency in Iraq – including intelligence, influence winning charity, and an organizational border-blurring center, which seems to be running into problems:
the center was originally envisioned as “a fusion organization for all of the information gathered among the private security companies.” The information would be useful to both the military and thousands of private security contractors who operate on Iraq’s supply routes and face the same insurgent threats.
But Holly said the usefulness of the center has been limited because each time a company provides intelligence, it is classified secret by the military and not distributed.
Tanji, of course, weighs in.
