I have worked with Blackwater in the past, they are made up of mainly ex op's guys out in the field with, training and cadre jobs in the rear and in other countries. It's good money, for guys to keep doing the only thing they know, so before people judge walk a mile in a mans shoes and do some research before you bash. If the broke ROE's then they should be punished but in a tactical situation when bullets are flying individuals that have never experienced that, shouldn't Monday morning quarterback there actions until all the facts are presented, and if they fact s same they are guilty then they should be held accountable.

Iraqi investigators have a videotape that shows Blackwater USA guards opened fire against civilians without provocation in a shooting last week that left 11 people dead, a senior Iraqi official said Saturday. He said the case was referred to the Iraqi judiciary.

The "Black water agents that by the way also protect dignitaries have the absolute right to fire on anyone who poses a treat especially a cowardly roadside ambush or IED attack ! many, many times so called civilians are directly involved with spotting for the enemy on when to detonate these devices, including children numb nuts! these people will kill your sorry a_ _'s dead!

No. And, it doesn't include him or his administration. Otherwise, why would he try to get a bill passed that pardons everyone who may have violated the Geneva Conventions?
There should be no mercenaries in Iraq. And, if there have to be mercenaries, then they should not be above the laws of Iraq.

ChiGuy, don't these people deserve the presumption of innocence? You are proclaiming them to be guilty before they have their day in court. That is not the American way.
