Is anyone else worried that with entire state national guards going to Iraq

and the growth of Blackwater, the Administration is planning a take over. Why are the state governors going along with this? Am I being overly paranoid. Is there anyone in Congress investigating private contractors like Blackwater and Custer Battles?

1. Governors complain-----then life goes on (or death in some cases)

2. Have they just begun to notice?

I posted here when the Hurricane hit Florida a few months ago. They used prisoners for the clean up and some posted and says they always use prisoners as though it was something normal...

3. What I want to know is is anyone looking into the use of these contractors?

Are any lawmakers looking into it? Are the governors going to do anything? Are we writing or calling our governors? Do we need to start an on-line petition to the governors?

5. The only governor I heard who had something to say about is was...

ahnold, I believe he wanted to make a law where bush couldn't take away national guards in case there was some type of disaster or other civil disturbance in this country. At the rate we are going they will be needed soon...
