Inside Iraq's Kill Zone

The conflict in Iraq led to an enormous growth in the security industry as private security contractors were hired to perform seemingly mundane but definitely dangerous tasks-jobs that were once the exclusive responsibility of the military. Filmed in 2007, this program enters the kill zone to see what it's like to act as guards-for-hire, constantly on the alert and acutely aware that every mission could be the last. Critics also have their say, expressing their belief that security contractors simply add to an already chaotic situation.

To a large degree the public first took notice of civilian contractors a few years ago - after the tragic deaths of four Blackwater USA employees in the city of Fallujah. Their bodies were savagely mutilated. Since then the dangers have only continued to increase. More than 100 private security contractors have died on the job, victims of I.E.D.s and deadly ambushes. Armed to the teeth the contractors move through the Iraqi roads, often appearing like characters from the movie 'The Road Warrior'. Critics believe contractors simply add to the already chaotic situation in Iraq, a country on the verge of civil war.
