SCAHILL, JEREMY | June 23, 2008 issue

add to cart   close window

The article describes the operations of the international security firm Blackwater USA, and the way the firm has become the top company for security outsourcing. In September 2007, the firm received bad publicity for allegedly shooting 17 Iraqi civilians, but by early 2008, their agents were still in Iraq and Afghanistan. If Blackwater signs a large narcoterrorism contract aimed at preventing drug trafficking, they would join firms such as DynCorp as the largest security firms in the world.
