Recent scandals in Iraq and elsewhere have shone unaccustomed light on
an explosive trend: the growth of private military contractors. Such
firms allow governments to accomplish public ends through private means
and without much oversight. This lack of scrutiny may be expedient, but
it is not necessarily good for democracy. Privatization can benefit
everyone, but only if done in the right way.
