I recently interviewed David Phinney, an independent journalist based in Washington, DC. Phinney, who has been covering the issue of human trafficking by US government contractors since 2004, has released several new stories in which he interviews American contractors who have witnessed firsthand the labor abuses occurring in Iraq.

The last few months have been a busy time here at the WarSlavery Campaign. The plight of workers and growing concern about the New Embassy Compound have captured attention from the media as well as the federal government.
