Why do we have these multinational contracting firms representing the United States? It's not only fucking horrendous what (obviously a few of many, but still) they are participating in, but it is just bad policy to have entities outside of our control representing us.

It depends on what you consider those goals to be. I haven't read your article, but hiring outside contractors insulates the government from liability, and if an organization is unacceptable, just cut them loose; no need for internal reform. For the contractors, the money is good, and they're insulated from intrusive government oversight, and like the government, if a problem arises, you blame it on individual workers and cut them loose.

Given the right policy goals, this could be a win-win. Not to mention privatization is seen as a positive by many, and the private firm's activities are less likely to show up on the six o'clock news. I guess I'm not understanding which policy you think this is undermining?
