“The Most Dangerous Civilian Job in Iraq”
July 18th, 2005An opinion piece from the Japan Times:
The most dangerous civilian job in Iraq.
Being an interpreter, of course.
Interpreting is the most dangerous civilian job among employees of private contractors with the U.S. Labor Department. Interpreters’ deaths accounted for more than 40 percent of the more than 300 death claims filed by all private contractors operating in Iraq.
One interpreter said if he were caught by insurgents his head would be cut off because imams say interpreters are spies. This interpreter has been threatened 15 times, including by a neighbor. One female interpreter was shot execution-style at her home in front of her family.
Yikes.
