I've got to disagree with you Skunk that these security forces are illegal combatants. These firms must have some way of dealing with US armed forces or the Pentagon wouldn't allow them in Iraq in the first place. Maybe a liason officer or something of the sort....
I would like to know how these "independent contractors" are being used however. It seems to me that these forces shouldn't be providing convoy escorts if they need an escort of their own.
