and how it could have been prevented

I believe that Blackwater was set up.
That the insurgents shot most of the civilian's.
at the time of the incident no autopsy's COULD BE done and the body's were never available to tell who shot who.
This same trick was done during the vietnam war by the VC.
Al qaeda learned a lot about fighting a insurgency war from history
And have used anything from history they can find.
Right now the insurgents want Blackwater out so the can make more affective attacks.

Ive been leary of the whole Blackwater thing from the start. Those "Soldiers of Fortune" working for Blackwater are making 6 figure salaries while regular/real soldiers in Iraq are barely making more than minimum wage. Somethings wrong with that picture.

It shows that Iraq is not a sovereign nation.
After the 9/16 massacre, the Iraqi government tried to expel the soldiers of fortune from Blackwater, but the occupiers in the Bush administration won't allow them to.
High paid Blackwater mercenaries have been terrorizing Iraqi civilians for years and turning the Iraqi people against low paid US troops.
There are nearly 60 murders by Blackwater mercenaries that Iraq has been trying to investigate but the Bush administration has been blocking them.
A Blackwater soldier of fortune murdered a bodyguard for the Iraqi Vice President.
Blackwater paid the victim's family a token for their suffering.
Iraq was not allowed to prosecute the murderer and the incident was covered up by the Bush administration so the murderer was allowed to go back to work in Iraq for another mercenary company.

I think the accusations in this case are bogus! Speaking from experience, as I am currently serving yet another tour in Iraq, they only want you to hear the negative stuff that happens over here. I have a couple acqauintences that work for BlackWater and that know what exactly happened out there in the streets of Baghdad. The way it happened and the way the media play to everyone are 2 different stories. So for those of you who are misinformed about whats going on over here, perhaps you should consider hearing all sides of the story before you start passing judgement.

They sound like a really good outfit to me. When you hire someone to watch your back you want your back watched. If there a platoon of Blackwater there. The war would be over real soon. To many American service men and women have been killed by so called civilians.

I think we don't know the real story ..much of the media is bias , or a bunch DanRathers with counterfeit documented "news" ..but if there were no terrorists in the world , I think it could have been prevented . Terrorists have no regard for human life ; pregnant women & kids are used as bomb instruments - but the media attacks anyone protecting freedom , life or liberty .Once terrorist acts are stopped , the rest will end .

They could stop listening to baseless accusations by a group of people that have learned that it is profitable and militarily successful to make allegations of wrongdoing against US soldiers and contractors.
They have the dutiful idiots on the left to do their bidding for them.

Let's get the proof. Try them in a military court If there is proof of wrong doing and go from there.
The best way for it to be prevented is for the terrorists to surrender.

WHAT a surprise!!!!!!! :0 ... NOT!!! Oh- c'mon... We have a "cowboy" in the Whitehouse; who sends all kinds of Company "cowboys" over to Iraq to "secure" OUR best Interests, and a few dozen innocent Iraqi's happen to accidentally get shot now & then? Geez- that's too bad! -But that's "War"- our great "Decider" says...-& there's nothing HE can do about it... ... But it all WOULD have been prevented- had Bush never been Elected in 2000...So we GOT what we voted for... And THAT's a Fact. :)

I think it is one more no-bid contractor that Bush and Cheney make a huge personal profit off of. Why else would they not lose their contract???
