How do you spell c-o-n-f-l-i-c-t o-f i-n-t-e-r-e-s-t?

The FBI team that is to sent to Iraq to investigate the killing of at least 17 Iraqi civilians by mercenaries in the employ of Blackwater USA are to be guarded, whilst in the country, by, wait for it, mercenaries in the employ of Blackwater USA. I am certain that this will in no way hinder the investigation or make witnesses to the events less likely to speak with the investigators.

In the meantime I'm just off to mix up some white wash.

UPDATE: it appears that someone may have sussed that this could present a problem; the US government is now going to provide security for the US government, at least in this one very special case!
