In this two part video series, I wanted to put this up for anyone that is interested in hearing the latest arguments ‘for’ or ‘against’ the use of private security contractors throughout the world. Jeremy Schahill is obviously the ‘against’ side of the argument, and David Isenberg is arguing ‘for’.
I have read a ton of stuff from David, and he has been very involved with writing about the industry. With Jeremy, I have skimmed through his book about Blackwater and I have read a couple of his articles. Both of these men are extremely knowledgeable about the industry, although I have caught several mistakes in Jeremy’s book and had it very subjective feel to it. Either way, it was interesting to hear both men give their side of the issue with Mr. Khan moderating.
