expected them to commit crimes?
Does this not, at the least, constitute conspiracy to obstruct justice, if not conspiracy to commit murder and other class 1 felonies?

It would not have been possible to get civilian contractors to undertake these missions if they were subject to someone else's civil or criminal law. It is in contemplation of harassing charges rather than real one that creates the need for such "extraterritorial" immunity. Otherwise, the Blackwater people would have less protection than regular military.

1. Because they were worried that corrupt Iraqi police might falsely prosecute Blackwater for crimes that it did not commit.
2. They only have immunity from prosecution by Iraq, not from prosecution by the U.S.

Because private corporation employees like Black Water do not have to fallow the same morals as a government troop and the people or government do not have oversight over them so we can use them for torture or to keep a war going. These companies are only there to make a profit because that is one of the corporations morals. I also think that these companies hurt troop morale because the troops see people that are making more money then them for the same job.

Just recently it was reported that Howard Krongard, the State Department inspector general brother Alvin Krongard is a board member of BlackWater-Howard is in charge of investigating BW-dont you wish somehow we could follow the money trail-I do.

Just imagine Iran having a group of armed contractors in America above the law. Totally unthinkable

would you go to war if you had to fear both the insurgents and the govt that sent you there? War is hell and mistakes can happen, blackwater knows this.
Unless you want a draft you should take a step back on blackwater, they along with triple canopy and KDR are the "fill in the gap" fighting force that our troops so desperately need.
