10,000 mercenaries serving in U.S. military in Iraq. Many have dodgy human rights records in Latin America.

November 17/18/19, 2006 -- U.S. military sources have reported to WMR that there are currently 10,000 U.S. troops serving in Iraq who are not U.S. citizens. The troops, mostly recruits from Latin America, have been promised eventual U.S. citizenship. Senior military officers decry this practice as the use of mercenaries by the Pentagon. In addition, many of the abuses of Iraqi citizens by U.S. troops are being carried out by the mercenary troops, some of whom have been involved in Latin American military and paramilitary units charged with human rights violations.
