「ヤクザが支配する国」へと変身させられるイラク（Ｗ．ポストより）
翻訳の時間が取れませんので英文丸投げで失礼しますが、イラクは多くの武装した「ヤクザ集団」によるリンチと虐殺の恐怖で支配される国へと変身させられつつあります。４月１６日（日）付のワシントン・ポスト紙は“Iraq Begins to Rein In Paramilitary Force”「イラクは私兵勢力による支配を始める」という見出しの記事を掲げています。
ここで「私兵勢力」と書きました“Paramilitary Force”は、正式な軍隊ではないがそれに準ずる武装組織を指し、イラク戦争で活躍したブラック・ウォーターなどの傭兵集団などにも使います。
この記事の最初の段落だけを日本語にしてみます。
『イラクの内務省は施設防衛サービス（the Facilities Protection Service；FPS）による統治にその一歩を踏んだ。これは４０００の単位の施設警備隊で、米軍の高官によると、１４５０００名の武装した男によって作られ指令中枢や監督官や会計を持たないもので、この政権の中で最大の私兵勢力に密かに育ってきたものである。』
「密かに育ってきた」とはよく言ったものです。米英イスラエル諜報機関の「許可」と「監督」無しでこの政権内で「育つ」わけが無いでしょう。Ｗ．ポスト記事では米軍がその育成に関与してきたことを指し示しています。
現在のイラクではおそらくイラク人によるこのような集団、言ってみればヤクザ組織が白昼堂々と暗殺集団（death squads）として跳梁跋扈し、村や町を襲っては住民にリンチを加えて集団虐殺して回る、という恐ろしい状態が日常化しているようです。
黒人などを集団リンチで殺していた合衆国の歴史を、そのままイスラエルで再現させ、ラテンアメリカで再現させ、そして次にイラクで再現させたと言えます。しょせんは奴隷制と先住民大虐殺で国づくりをしてきた世界最大の野蛮国、そしてアングロサクソン・ユダヤ最下等文明集団のやることです。

Iraq Begins to Rein In Paramilitary Force
'Out of Control' Guard Unit Established by U.S. Suspected in Death Squad-Style Executions

BAGHDAD, May 13 -- Iraq's Interior Ministry has taken its first steps to rein in the Facilities Protection Service, a unit of 4,000 building guards that U.S. officials say has quietly burgeoned into the government's largest paramilitary force, with 145,000 armed men and no central command, oversight or paymaster.
Last month, Interior Minister Bayan Jabr accused the Facilities Protection Service, known as the FPS, of carrying out some of the killings widely attributed to death squads operating inside his ministry's police forces. A senior U.S. military official, speaking on condition that he not be identified further, said Saturday he believed that members of the FPS, along with private militias, were the chief culprits behind Iraq's death squads.
L. Paul Bremer, then U.S. administrator of Iraq, signed an order establishing the Facilities Protection Service in 2003, aiming to free American troops from guarding Iraqi government property and preventing the kind of looting that erupted with the entry of U.S. forces and the overthrow of Saddam Hussein.
Initially given only three days of training, the guards were assigned to protect Iraq's ministries and other sites under government control. Bremer's September 2003 order put the guards under the command and pay of the ministries they protected, not of the interior or defense ministries, which handle the rest of Iraq's security forces. The order also allowed private security firms to handle the contracting of FPS guards for the ministries.
Although the FPS guards are not police officers, they were allowed to wear variations of the blue uniform of Iraqi police. Many witnesses and survivors of death squad-style attacks have said the assailants were dressed in police uniforms.
FPS guards often are seen roaming Baghdad's streets, holding Kalashnikov assault rifles and crowded into the backs of pickup trucks, some marked with insignia of the FPS or of the various government ministries they serve.
Increasingly, U.S. and Interior Ministry officials describe the FPS units as militias, each answering only to the ministry or private security firm that employs it. Ministries were carved out along largely sectarian lines, with many under the control of Shiite religious parties that lead Iraq's government.
When Jabr last month acknowledged death squads were at work within the Interior Ministry, he pointed his finger as well at the FPS, telling the BBC and Newsweek that the service was "out of control."
U.S. officials training Iraq's security forces say they have no more control over the FPS than the Interior Ministry does. "Negative. None. Zero," said Lt. Col. Michael J. Negard, a spokesman for the U.S. training of Iraqi forces.
In an e-mail, the senior U.S. military official said: "Our sense is that we have pretty good situational awareness of the activities of the National Police units (i.e. the former Commandos and Public Order units)." The official pointed out that there are American military advisers with each battalion of the national police, as well as in brigade and division headquarters.
"It could be that some members of the units are sneaking out at night and undertaking extracurricular activities," the official wrote. "However, that is generally unlikely, and the suspicion is that the elements carrying out the killings are either from various militia elements or security units working for other ministries," referring to ministry-level units of the FPS.
However, one former adviser in Iraq said he believes that at least some of the death squads come from the special police commando squads that the United States helped establish.
The Interior Ministry, which is trying to clean up its own reputation for harboring death squads, in recent weeks has acted to try to bring the FPS under some measure of oversight. On May 6, the private security companies that pay the salaries of FPS members agreed to several Interior Ministry proposals meant to bring some central order to the paramilitary unit, said Gen. Raad al-Tamimi of the Interior Ministry.
The Interior Ministry is to issue badges and distinctive seals for the vehicles of the FPS and supervise the kinds of weapons it uses, Tamimi said. Agents of the security companies and the ministry also made clear that FPS members were liable for prosecution for any crimes, the official said.
The security companies also agreed to bring the FPS under ministry supervision, Tamimi said, but he gave no details. Ongoing negotiations would bring the FPS under the same Interior Ministry command as the national police but with slightly different uniforms, Tamimi said.
"There is a desire to standardize the whole issue," Negard, the U.S. spokesman, said. "You want to be able to know who everybody is. You kind of can't tell now."
In violence Saturday, gunmen killed the son of Iraq's top judge along with two of his bodyguards and dumped their bodies in Baghdad, officials told news agencies.
Victims of other reported attacks included five Iraqis, a U.S. soldier and an Iranian Shiite pilgrim beheaded in Najaf. The soldier was killed when a roadside bomb hit his vehicle before dawn in south Baghdad, according to a U.S. military statement that gave no further details.
In Basra, the country's second-largest city, Gov. Mohammed Mosabbah Mohammed al-Weily issued a fiery statement blaming the local police chief, army commander and others for failing to curb or investigate killings and political assassinations. Weily suspended the police chief pending what he said would be a local council vote on the man's dismissal.
