Employing private-security contractors for jobs in trouble spots around the world may be a good option now and again, but the problem is clearly out of hand in Iraq.

Nor does it appear to be cheaper, considering that numerous official audits have found billions of dollars in waste and overspending. Congress needs to place strict limits on this practice and eliminate contractors' immunity from criminal liability.

The Miami Herald should rethink this position.
