Mondo Aggro: Iraq Contractors Edition

This is crazy:

The U.S. military on Sunday ordered a court-martial for a civilian contractor charged with aggravated assault while working as an Army interpreter in Iraq — the first such military prosecution since the Vietnam War.

Alaa “Alex” Mohammad Ali, who holds Iraqi and Canadian citizenship, is accused of stabbing another contractor four times during a fight Feb. 23 on a base near Hit, 85 miles west of Baghdad. The victim suffered chest wounds.

I thought it was just American contractors who were full of ‘roid rage.
