Alright! 

What kind of views do you hold regarding PMCs and NGO security organizations?  I am very interested in the organizations and how they are created, secure contracts, etc.  What type (if any) of interaction did you have with Iraqi resistence/Government/Iraqi citizens/Coalition of the willing troops/other contractors (including PMCs)?

If you would like to answer them, I will PM you more in depth questions.
