MSNBC reports that the downed chopper was civilian
MSNBC has reported that the downed chopper was a civilian chopper contracted by the army.

Privatization of the rescue effort?

1. How about there weren't enough military choppers?
Contracting more rescue copters is not a bad thing, IMO.

4. This is why I'm scratching my head
The chopper was made to *look* like it was CG, but MSNBC is reporting that they have confirmed that it is civilian contracted by the army.

Nothing wrong with getting any and all help to the vicims. But why was a civilian chopper made to look as though it is CG?
