Executive Outcomes were one of the most well-organized and well-known Private Military Contractors that operated up until the late 1990s. Drawn mostly from the apartheid era Afrikaner ruled South African Army & Rhodesian Army after it became Zimbabwe, they played a major role in suppressing many a rebellions at the behest of autocratic African rulers & crisis situations elsewhere. They have also been accused of committing gross human rights violations or at least not giving to due regards to the concerns of human rights in their area of operation, though no prosecution has taken place against them.

As the Iraqi government threatens to expel all foreign mercenaries following the Blackwater shootout, the role of private military contractors is once again in the spotlight. There's no denying that the rise of the private military contractor is transforming the way we wage war. They earn four times more than regular soldiers, act with impunity and - in Iraq - outnumber all non-US soldiers combined. ‘Private Armies’ follows the training and deployment of these men. From skidding around a racing track, practising escaping from kidnappers, to dodging bullets in Baghdad, it’s an eye-opening look at life as a private soldier.

Carta aberta ao Excelentíssimo Ministro da Justiça José Eduardo Cardoso Temos visto nas últimas semanas vários casos de espionagem cibernética envolvendo o nosso país e nesta semana foi noticiado o caso em que o Brasil monitorou diplomatas da Rússia, Iraque e Irã entre 2003 e 2004 [1] . Contudo, antes de entendermos a situação, devemos entender o que são espionagem e contraespionagem em questão. A palavra espionagem tem origem no francês espionnage e vários outros idiomas mantiveram a sua mesma morfologia como o inglês (espionage), o alemão (spionage), o italiano (spionaggio), o russo (шпионаж - shpianash) e espanhol (espionaje).
