"The Obama administration has confirmed the hiring of mercenary firm Triple Canopy to take over Blackwater's contract to protect US diplomats in Iraq. Part of the firms job will be to protect the monstrous US embassy in Baghdad. We speak to independent journalist Jeremy Scahill, who has also just revealed that the administration is using Triple Canopy to protect US diplomats in Israel."
