Abu Ghraib and more on outsourcing defense
We mentioned earlier an investigative report concluding that Defense Dept. work has essentially been outsourced to private companies who work on contracts that the government does not supervise. Now a legal scholar has analyzed the prison torture scandal at Abu Ghraib and linked it with the same poor policies. Check out Steven L. Schooner, "Contractor Atrocities at Abu Ghraib: Compromised Accountability in a Streamlined, Outsourced Government," 16 Stan. L. & Pol. Rev. (forthcoming 2005) (abstract and full paper available on-line).
