Their deaths dragged Australian companies into a furious international debate on the ever-increasing role of private contractors in war zones, a highly controversial development in Iraq and other theatres of the so-called War on Terror. version 1.0 use this incident as a starting point for a wide ranging performance investigation of war and commerce, and the implications of this for our democracy.
