Iraq contractors face hurdles

Contractors in Iraq say they are mired in red tape, CNN's Fred Pleitgen reports from Baghdad.  Click above to watch his report on how many are mired in visa delays and other bureaucratic obstacles that keep them from doing their job.  Some contractors have been detained.  The US embassy in Iraq plans on using up to 15,000 security and other contractors now that the military is no longer operating in the country.

    the first hurdle is who , where and how do they get paid? answer at the end of the month go to that bank and the coin will be there honestly, trust me???? pay up front to a trustee is only a wish now. o another tip for the guys is do not defend yourself because if the other guy dies you will end up in jail if they catch you at the vary least. enjoy
