Pentagon probes security contractors in Iraq

The Blackwater guards suspected in the Baghdad shooting were working under a State Department contract and couldn't be held accountable under military law.
Pentagon officials also said they've sent a memo to commanders in Iraq and Afghanistan reminding them that they can court-martial private security guards working under military contracts who violate U.S. military law.
The State Department hasn't distributed a similar memo, and it is unclear what, if any, U.S. law applies to the actions of its contractors.
