No Security Contractors, Period

Apparently Hillary Clinton wants to hire more federal employees to guard U.S. personnel and bases in Iraq -- a lot more. She has cosponsored legislation that would ban the use of private security contractors in the country and require that "all personnel at any U.S. diplomatic or consular mission in Iraq be provided security services only by federal government personnel."

But as Robert Brodsky pointed out in Government Executive in December, there are limited options when it comes to bringing all protective services in-house -- and they're expensive.
