Feature: Crossroads

Mercenaries Should Not Be Above the Law
An astounding 120,000 "private security contractors" are currently working in Iraq. And a couple of weeks ago, when Blackwater
mercenaries decided to open fire on innocent Iraqi civilians,
we learned that these contractors are above the law.

Just yesterday the House overwhelming passed a bill that would
make it clear that U.S. law applies to all armed contractors hired for overseas missions. Now it's up to the Senate to follow the House's
lead. Tell your Senators to support accountability for private security contractors in Iraq and send the letter below.
