Because they do not fall under the UCMJ (uniform code of military justice) , just what Bush had in mind with they looted the museums of Iraq and made off with untold fortunes.

The are the new Preatorian Guard, answerable to no one but Bush. At the end of the day, American military still have to obey legal orders and to stay within compliance of the UCMJ. The Blackwater Brownnshirts don't need to concern themselves with legalities and Iraqi lives are cheap. The are kind of like pit bulls with a finely honed killer instinct.

Because the troops are a visible target for liberals and the Blackwater guys aren't.

Don't think nothing is going to happen to them, this will be investigated and they will be tried. Until then they ,as our troops, are innocent until proven guilty or did you forget that?

The new Iron Curtain he is putting around America is his idea of transparency.

How do you know they were innocent?
Also, I'm pretty sure Bush isn't hiring anyone.
