Senators Seek Investigation Into Private Security Firms in Iraq By Lolita C. Baldor Associated Press Writer

In a letter to congressional auditors on Thursday, the senators said the private firms - which employ as many as 20,000 people in Iraq - are increasingly doing security work, but they are unregulated by the federal government.
