The Oversight and Government Reform Committee held a hearing on waste, fraud, and abuse of taxpayer dollars in Iraq, focusing on the use of private military contractors. Family members of four Blackwater employees killed in Fallujah testified about what they view as profiteering by Blackwater USA, including the company's alleged failure to provide armored vehicles and other critical safety equipment. The committee also examined Blackwater's security operations in Iraq and multiple layers of contracts and subcontracts that compound costs to the taxpayer. Filmed by C-SPAN. Non-commercial use only.
