    Mind you they may presume you are British so not worth blowing up etc. this guy has a US accent.
    The problem is u cant turst any one. They tell you go there , with these local guards , they will protect you , you can never know who is going to steal your ass and ask all armies out in a week or they start cutting you piece by piece starting from the genitals.

      £1000/day is not that great, surely.

      £5k sounds more like it.

        I had a call some time last year for a Security Director gig in Kabul. I told the guy it would need to be in the thousand of dollars a day region but they were paying $5-600/day!!

        You can get more than that in Basingstoke...
        Older and ...well, just older!!

          Shirley you would want to go there simply for the experience?

          Anyway, I read that the economy is picking up there - apparently the first ever Chinese restaurant to open in Iraq proves this.
