I was reading an interesting story about Bernard Kerik, the ex-NYPD commish, who is now in Iraq trying to help with "law and order."
According to this article, it said Kerik has South African bodyguards:
"Kerik dashes about Baghdad with the South African bodyguards he inherited from retired Gen. Jay Garner, the first chief of Iraq's interim administration.
They travel in two armored GMC Suburbans, weaving through traffic as everyone - including Kerik and the driver - hold their guns at the ready. He goes everywhere with a bulletproof vest and a 9mm pistol."
My question: Why would Kerik, or any other American, have South African bodyguards as opposed to US military or US Federal Agent protection?
Thanks...
