InSight Co-director Steven Dudley talks with Douglas Farah, an award-winning journalist who worked for the Washington Post and is now a security consultant, about "super fixers." Farah uses the term to describe a new type of operator in the underworld, who provide services to various criminal and terrorist organizations regardless of ideology, helping to blur the boundaries between these types of groups. (See video below.) Farah's testimony about "super fixers" for the United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs is available here in pdf.
