This is the only real instance that I am aware of that they have been accused publicly of the things you mention. It was the Marines that killed all those people in Haditha and also in Falluja. Mercenaries have not been much in the news at all. If you are a complete news junkie like most DUers you would have been aware of all the atrocities they have actually committed and of their extent of usage there. Most Americans are not aware even in the slightest of Mercenaries operating in Iraq or of the total number of "Private Contractors" actually being in excess of the number of our Military there.
