...It was not immediately clear if any contractors would choose to stop working in Iraq because of the changes. Why should they leave, with the prospects of Sharia law judging what they do, who could ask for more.

I don’t understand the concern for this. Foreign workers in our country are subject to our laws. This is pretty much standard everywhere in the world.

At this rate, Obama’s not going to have any work to do when he gets there. All the backstabbing will already be done.

Well... It wasn’t going to last forever. Either Iraq is a sovereign power or it isn’t. I take this as yet another sign that the war is functionally over and we won.
Blackwater knows how to operate worldwide within the laws of lots of countries. They’ll figure it out.

Cancel my contract:
Cancel any more imports of supplies.
Cancel all employment contracts.
Cancel any new hires.
Cancel food purchases.
Cancel all other contracts for support of contracts.
See me in court about sueing me over my cancelling the contracts.
YOU breached the contract when you took away my protection.

Thousands of contractors, both private Americans and non-Iraqi foreigners working in key roles for the United States in Iraq, will lose immunity and be subject to Iraqi law under new security arrangements, Bush administration officials say. Thousands of contractors need to start resigning immediately.
