A. local journalist is adding to the international debate concerning the war in Iraq. It's a war entering its sixth year now, and more than any other in our history, it's being waged in part not by soldiers, marines, sailors, and guardsmen, but by private contractors.

One of the largest and most controversial such firms is Blackwater USA: the subject of Jeremy Scahill's book, Blackwater: The Rise of the World's Most Powerful Mercenary Army.

Scahill is a Milwaukee native and a graduate of Wauwatosa East High School.

He appeared on Live at 12:30 to discuss his book.
