Reporter Cam Simpson of the CHICAGO TRIBUNE began investigating when he saw a news report about a dozen impoverished men from Nepal who were kidnapped and killed while being transported to Iraq for jobs that supported U.S troops. Simpson retraced their steps back to the subcontractor who originally hired the workers, and uncovered a web of deceit and coercion.
