Crap happens in the fog of war, there is collateral damage and that is why war should always be taken seriously... it is not some high stakes video game played with drones and joy sticks in some uber secret basement somewhere...

What is really concerning is the misconduct outlined below.. We are paying for their misconduct, Xe is funded by the US Government.... so our taxes pay for Blackwater and their crimes against the Iraqi people as well

Their actions go a long way in winning the hearts and minds of the Iraqi people..

People need a big wake up... the more we know the worse it becomes... Blackwater is "pleased" with the settlement???? Another WTF moment brought to you by the military industrial complex.

Former guards with US security firm charged in Afghanistan deaths | World news | guardian.co.uk

Quote:

The Iraqi government alleges that the guard was shot by a drunken Blackwater employee who was then spirited out of the country by the US state department, which attempted to keep his identity secret.

The action settled today also included allegations that the company's aircraft were used to abduct Iraqis and that Blackwater workers were involved in weapons smuggling, illegal drug use and bringing young girls to the company's compound in Baghdad for paid sex.

Blackwater said it was "pleased" with the settlement, which it said "provides some compensation to Iraqi families".

Murder Charges dropped against Blackwater guards.

If Blackwater(or Xe) is so bad why hasn't your hero, Barry, fired them?

What about Triple canopy?

Holder got repudiated in the last Blackwater case, is ticked off so he will take it out on these guys.

Why does this become an right left issue???, when it is wrong.. to blindly defend Blackwater or any other contractor, without knowing all the details except for the settlement that they already made is beyond comprehension.. It is not a right left issue, but an issue of American standards and how we behave in other countries...

So this does not bother you, which was the crux of the issue posted... it is ok for a US contractor, that exists solely on US funding to use the taxpayers money to pay fines for the stuff listed below ?????

Blackwater is "pleased" with the settlement... that means money, we are paying for their sexual proclivities... and misconduct.

What about Triple Canopy????

As far as Agent 13 goes this has nothing to do with Holder, it has to do with the Iraqi government... the last case was dismissed due to prosecutorial misconduct that took place under the Bush/Gonsalves administration, not the Obama/Holder adminsitration... pay attention.

It became a left right issue when the left politicized the War on Terror.

And the right did not

... by your reasoning Blackwater can do no wrong... you are making no sense.

The right's blind support of all things Blackwater, including the breaking of the law, this thread was not as much about the allegations of murder but the settlement that they made with the Iraqi Government... with our taxes for their wrongdoing... yet the right will want to get rid of ACORN, without any admission of guilt..
