Mercenaries: Iraq's parallel army
Broadcast: Midday, 11/25/2008, 12:00 p.m.
Washington Post reporter Steve Fainaru discusses the parallel army of 100,000 that is filling in the gaps in Iraq. He says these privately-hired mercenaries operate outside the rules of engagement.
Fainaru is the author of a new book, "Big Boy Rules: In the Company of America's Mercenaries." He spoke at the Commonwealth Club of California last week.
