Military and War - Guns for Hire Afghanistan

Documentary about the secretive world of private military companies. Included is a unique interview in Kabuls Polecharki jail with the infamous American prisoner Jack Idema - an ex Marine Special Forces soldier who turned rouge. Jack was hunting for Bin Laden in the hope of winning the 2 million dollars U.S. award offered for Bin Ladens head by the Bush Administration. Eventually, Afghan authorities arrested Idema on charges of kidnapping people and interrogating them in a private prison. With their existing armies overstretched, Britain and America rely heavily on mercenary forces. In Guns For Hire: Afghanistan, former war reporter Sam Kiley investigates the shadowy world of the modern soldier of fortune.
