The bigger problem is with the reliance on security guards whose incentives -- as you note -- run contrary to counterinsurgency strategy.

But without Blackwater, we'll have to rely on CIA renditions when we decide to engage in wanton acts of violence contrary to local law. Granted, the CIA tends to be more disciplined about having at least some evidence that a guy named Akmed did something bad somewhere before they pick up someone named Ahmad, but they're already pretty busy.
