...Since last July, all five have been working without pay, dedicating time and talent to a campaign that, six months ago, seemed like it couldn't be helped. This is a bigger sacrifice for some of them than others: Black says he never intended to take a paycheck (he got out of "professional politics" years ago), Salter's campaign salary before he became a volunteer was $200,000 a year; Davis would have made about that much. Schmidt was paid over $300,000 for the nine months he toiled for the Governator. And McKinnon? Media advisers on presidential campaigns personally...

Talking about the horrific violence that has gripped Iraq in the past four and a half years - and the decades before that - and bringing those responsible to justice, would be a more meaningful step towards peace and justice than a paycheck or a pension.

Rather, it should rest on which powers are delegated by the state and applied by the agency, since this is the only distinction that materially affects the general public.

...that is precisely the problem. According to the U.S. military, the vast majority of CLCs - about 50,000 out of more than 70,000 - have no interest in joining Iraq's police force of army. They joined the program for the prospect of a steady paycheck in Iraq's moribund economy, and remain mistrustful of the Shi'ite-dominated government and its security forces...
American commanders are open about the CLCs' motivations; patriotism is not high on the list. Gen. Mark Hertling, who commands American forces in northern Iraq, said at a press conference last week that most volunteers were in it for the paycheck they received via the U.S. military. "They're doing that to get a job, primarily," he said. A CLC fighter gets paid roughly $300 a month, slightly less than his counterpart in the Iraqi police force. Nevertheless, of the 15,000 volunteers in his area, Hertling said, only about 20% have expressed an interest in joining the government...
