Blackwater, USA first came to the attention of most Americans in March 2004 when four of its employees were killed in the Iraqi town of Fallujah, and two of the charred, dismembered bodies were strung up on a bridge.
The company has since become the most prominent private security contractor in Iraq. Journalist Jeremy Scahill says that raises a lot of questions, which members of Congress are attempting to answer. Jeremy is a frequent contributor to The Nation magazine and he's written a new book "Blackwater: The Rise of the World's Most Powerful Mercenary Army."
