	Outsourcing War
		The increased use of private contractors by the U.S. government in Colombia is one illustration of this trend: by hiring PMFs, the Bush administration has circumvented congressional limits on the size and scope of the U.S. military's involvement in Colombia's civil war.
		Contractors are not quite civilians, given that they often carry and use weapons, interrogate prisoners, load bombs, and fulfill other critical military roles.
		Some states do assert extraterritorial jurisdiction over their nationals, but they do so only for certain crimes and often lack the means to enforce their laws abroad.

	FAS Email Archives -- 1995-96 Missile Defense Monitor
		Clinton has said the threat is not so imminent that the United States needs to commit to building a system within six years.
		Clinton has cited an intelligence report that says a rogue state is not likely to obtain the capability to launch an attack on the United States until the year 2011.
		``A rogue state strapping a bunch of smaller boosters together could quite readily carry a biological warhead to much greater range and do it much sooner than if they were waiting to design a traditional American-style intercontinental ballistic missile,'' Woolsey said, asserting that the intelligence report did not take such a nontraditional missile into account.

	americas.org - The “Invisible” U.S. War in Colombia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		In Colombia, the United States is deeply involved in a war between the government and the military, who are supported by various paramilitaries (many belonging to the rightwing Autonomous Self-Defense Forces of Colombia, or AUC), and the leftist armies of the Colombian Revolutionary Armed Forces (FARC) and the National Liberation Army (ELN).
		But in view of the “excellent” performance of the contractors, in May of this year Washington decided to increase from 400 to 500 the number of U.S. soldiers in the country and to eliminate any limit on the number of private contractors.
		Washington refuses to negotiate with a guerrilla group it has included on its list of terrorist organizations, even though it has offered a reward of $340,000 for solution of the crisis and the possibility of a visa to the United States in exchange for information leading to the release of the prisoners.

		This training brings together units from the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps to train as one unit, and it is intended to address lessons learned in recent conflicts, to “train as we fight,” and to ensure the services can operate closely in combat situations.

	U.S. Chamber of Commerce - Government Contracts
		Before the panel, NCLC had argued that a government contractor does not waive the right to object to a contract clause that is illegal under the Federal Acquisition Regulations simply by continuing to perform under the contract.
		In affirming the district court, the Federal Circuit panel did not reach the issue of waiver and instead concluded that the clauses were not illegal.
		Along with the National Defense Industrial Association and the Aerospace Industries Association, NCLC argued in support of the named tribes that when the government enters into a contract funded with general appropriations, the government's payment obligations are binding and do not depend on whether the appropriated funds have been exhausted.

		Halliburton charged the United States as much as $2.38 per gallon, an amount that a Pentagon audit determined to be about a dollar per gallon too high.

		It is so complicated to secure an Iraq contract from the United States government that several big Washington law firms have gone into the business of shepherding applicants through the process.

		Complexities arise, however, regarding the CPA. A statement by the Office of the United States Trade Representative ("USTR") on December 10, 2003, asserts that "Purchases on behalf of the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) are not covered by international trade procurement obligations because the CPA is not an entity subject to these obligations."
		The Panel went on to list a number of "indicia of control" that may be relevant to the determination.

	Defense Base Act: Insurance Coverage for Government Contractors
		Due to the recent abundance of Department of Defense and other Government contracts being awarded, especially in Afghanistan and Iraq, it is more important than ever that companies are familiar with the Defense Base Act.

		According to Ashcraft & Gerel, LLP, the leading national law firm handling Defense Base Act cases for injured workers, these cases can be very costly, and should be a source of great concern for contractors operating overseas.

		Our testing identified three reasons why the contractor inaccurately calculated interest overpayments: The contractor did not examine supporting documents for any of the 22 invoices tested to establish the correct date the invoice was received, but relied on the data provided by the Department without validating its reliability.
		Consequently, the contractor overstated the recovery claims in the amount of $1,400.46 for 7 of the 13 invoices; understated the recovery claims in the amount of $4,034.42 for 3 of the 13 invoices; and erroneously recovered $5,480 from vendors for 3 claims deemed to be overpayments when the Department paid the correct amount.
		The Department was unaware that the contractor had not performed in accordance with all aspects of the contract because the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) assigned to the contract limited his monitoring oversight to processing the contractor’s invoices and processing claims recovered from vendors.
