BY ANNE FLAHERTY Associated tress WASHINGTON — The military buildup in Afghani- stan is stoking a surge of pri- vate security contractors despite a string of deadly shootings in Iraq in recent years that has called into question the government's ability to manage the guns for hire. In recent online postings, the military has asked pri- vate security companies to protect traveling convoys and guard U.S. bases in trou- bled southern provinces such as Helmand and Kanda- har. And if truckers hired to transport fuel for the mili- tary want protection, they can hire their own armed guards, the military says. BUSH'S EXPANSION The Bush administration expanded the use of such companies with the onset of the wars in Iraq and Afghan- istan because it can save the military time and money. But the practice lost much of its appeal with Congress after September 2007, when five guards with what was then called Blackwater Worldwide — the company recently changed its name to Xe — opened fire in a crowded Baghdad square and killed 17 Iraqis. Now, as President Barack Obama plans to send more U.S. personnel to Afghani - tan to boost security and diplomatic efforts, more contractors are preparing to deploy, even though serious questions remain as to how these private forces are man- aged, when they can use deadly force and what hap- '.. pens if they break the odes. 'We understand the difft- culty of providing for the security of the Department of Defense facilities," Sen. i Carl Levin, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, wrote to Defense Secretary Robert Gates on Dec. 9. "However, the proposed contract appear ppear to dramatically expand the use of private security contrac- tors in Afghanistan," Levin said, adding that the reliance on contractors in Iraq resulted in widespread abuses." Levin, D-Mich., wrote to Gates after The Washington Post reported on the con- tract bid for armed guards at U.S. bases in southern Afghanistan Complicating matters is that the armed guards hired in Afghanistan most likely won't be US. citizens. Some lawmakers worry that arm- ing non -US. citizens to pro- tect American bases or con- voys poses a security risk in a country rife with corrup- tion and on the defensive against the Taiiban. ON THE DEFENSIVE Gates defended the prac- tire in his Feb.17 response to Levin. "The use of contrac- tor security personnel is vital to supporti og the for- ward -operating bases in cer- tain parts of the country and in continuing our efforts to employ local nationals' whenever possible," the Pentagon chief said.

Mousse 'Dadis' Camara, corruption and hold elections speaks in a waiting room adjacent to his bedroom in Conakry earlier this month. by the end of the year. ARRESTS The international commu- nity responded by cutting off aid and freezing Guinea's membership in the African Union. But the world's snub of the junta is perplexing to most Guineans, who see Camara as a kind of Robin Hood — punishing those most responsible for the country's perpetual poverty. He appears nightly on TV, sit- ting in his waiting room across from members of the former regime, whom he scolds for leading ostenta- tious lives at the expense of Guinea's poor. While his arrests of cor- rupt officials have won him admiration, his love for the TV spotlight and his insis- tence on broadcasting his rambling, multi -hour tirades have some wondering if Guinea is on the brink of another dictatorship. In top ministries, wall -sized por- traits of Camara have replaced the long -hanging image of the last ruler, who also came to power in a coup promising reform. "It is possible that he is sin- " says Richard Mon- rieff, author of a recent report on Guinea for the International Crisis Group. 'But what if he is sincere and dangerous? Young men in power usually go wrong." POWER VACUUM Guinea's long -ruling presi- dent, Lansana Conte, died on Dec. 22, leaving a power vac- uum in a country that had known only one other ruler since independence in 1958. Conte's inner circle, including numerous wives and dozens of children, lived in rococo villas and traversed the capital's potholed roads in eye-catching SUVs. During Conte's quarter century in office, Guinea's people became poorer, sliding to No. 167 out of 179 countries ranked on the U.N: s develop- ment index. The president used the country's Central Bank as his personal savings account, arriving in a motor- cade and waiting as bags of cash were loaded into his car. Hardly anyone had heard of Camara, an army captain in his 40s, until Dec 23, when his men broke down the glass dons of the state TV station. He announced that the con- stitution had been dissolved and that the 0ouatry was °w ruled by a military junta THE 'DADIS SHOW' The budget audits began on TV last month. In one session, Camara lost his temper with Bakery Thermite, the former head of the country's and -drug unit. "These drugs that you seized, did you resell them?'

His aides refer to the barracks — and specifically the waiting room as "the presidency." Soldiers with guns guard the stairs outside and each side of the door inside. Rows of leather couches face a �- white couch where only the president is allowed to sit. Two more soldiers sit outside the entrance to the presi- dent's bedroom.
