Schakowsky Prepares Legislation to Ban Blackwater

Jeremy Scahill, The Rebel Report: "As multiple scandals involving Blackwater continue to emerge almost daily, Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL), a member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence is preparing to introduce legislation aimed at ending the US government's relationship with Blackwater and other armed contracting companies. 'In 2009, the U.S. government employed well over 20,000 armed private security contractors in Iraq and Afghanistan, and there is every indication that these figures will continue to rise in 2010,' Schakowsky wrote in a 'Dear Colleage' letter asking for support for her Stop Outsourcing Security (SOS) Act."
