Now, for your moral endorsment ( and I really don't know why you bring this is your spin ... ) some do have morals and ethics, but some don't:
Feb. 15: Employees of a U.S. private contractor hired by the U.S. military to protect supplies say the brutality they witnessed against Iraqis led them to quit. NBC's Lisa Myers reports.

Like I said, you may be right. As far as putting a spin on it, I wouldn't say so. I am a retired US Marine with a considerable amount of Force Recon (USMC "Special Forces") and SpecOps training and experience. Does the fact that I am no longer in the military make me any less deadly or less trained as a soldier than a new recruit just coming out of Basic Training? Of course not; I'm still probably more qualified than most of them over there. I see your point about them not being "troops" or current Military personnel though, and you're right.
But personally I don't have a problem sending qualified soldiers over there to help out (dunno about the hiring of untrained Kurd operators though, never heard that one before).
