Funny but I dont remember Henry Waxman complaining about Blackwater when they successfully protected HIM while he was in Iraq.
Did I miss something?

IWAS...so the deaths of those 14 people mean the entire Blackwater organization is bad?
By your own logic, if a cop kills someone then all cops are bad Ridiculous.

Yeah, you missed Blackwater killing 14 Iraqi civilians for no cause according to the FBI. And unaccountable. How convenient for them. They were paid to protect Waxman, not murder civilians.
You haven't bothered to read the article, have you? Accountability is an oddity to Blackwater and apparently to many of the supporters of subcontracting this war. Accountability is alien to everything Bush and Iraq have going from the outing of CIA operatives to murder by government employees.

This is lame logic....so you are saying that since Waxman did not know the details of Blackwater when he visited Iraq and trusted the main security force there, he is bad...No body on the payroll should get a blank check to their activities....we're talking about murder here...and it appears that murder may have happened

Since when do we use mercenaries?
This has been a very strange situation, they can't easily face prosecution, we pay once for our Army and again for an army not under our control. Blackwater.
Not under our command, and, given the fact that so much money has been given them, not under our accounting practices. We don't know where all those billions have gone. Have we spent it wisely, or just too well?
Theres nothing wrong with asking an industry that has blossomed in the last six year for an accurate accounting of the billions we have given them.

How many people did they murder while protecting Waxman?
How many Iraq citizens who want them out of their country and is becoming enraged, are dems?

The police protect us, but that does not give them a blank check to kill innocent civilians. It seems Blackwater has such a blank check.

It is disingenuous to compare Waxman being guarded, to the numerous murders that Blackwater has visited upon unarmed Iraqis to include women and children.

what has one to do with the other, do you support the blackwater fiasco...it sounds like it.
And others it appears would like to take no responsibility at all.

Doesn't even compare with YOUR hypocrisy concerning Valerie Plame, if a democrat would have done that to a republican supporter it would have been HIGH TREASON in your books

I am curious do you therefore support the idea of a private army, better equipped and better funded then the US Military operating around the world in our name with none of the constraints that the Army has in terms of morals and ethics?

The whole Blackwater bruhaha is no different than if the left could find a way to blame rollerblade accidents on the Republicans, then rollerblades would be the "story du jour".
