I remember reading in a credible source, I believe the NY Times, about a private contractor threatening the life of a U.S. State Department official in order to make something happen, and getting their way. Look at all the things Blackwater (most famously) and other did, with (almost?) complete impunity.
I have no expertise in the matter, but my impression is that the law isn't a consideration in combat zones. Perhaps someone with actual experience can comment.
