35-Count Indictment Against Blackwater Employees

[kimba1]

actually were already been curse with details about blackwater for quite awhile.
as i said before this is not an isolated incident and even the military has an interest on how to deal with them.
how is it people are not upset how they treat the military?

[Plane]

well
it`s kinda hard to look innocent when you blowup a girls school
I got that info an hour ago in the radio.
of all the buildings to hit.
collateral damage is a bitch that should not be ignored.
and don`t forget u.s. soldier have been held at gunpoint by blackwater guards
we talked about this 6 months ago.
that`s why laws are being changed to allow blackwater guard to not be immune to any laws
even the subject now is still in question on what laws applies to them

A girls school?

I am suspicious , that is a terrible co-incidence.

I wouldn't be surprised if the girls school were chosen as a site for ambush in hopes of  the ugly massacre  happening.

It has been done before.

But I am speculateing with very little knoledge of what really happened , I am sure that the public will be cursed with more details soon.

Fascist assholes like the Bushidiot and Blackwateridiots are easy to rope a dope into stupid things like attacking the wrong nation and girls schools

And you can bet we will hear a lot more about this Blackwater stupidity.

You mean, you also think that the ambush couold have been planned for the neighborhood of the school on the hope of an embarassing massicre ?

Of course I do  that doesnt exonerate these Blackwater animals in anyway. It just shows how stupid you can be and still make $600 a day .

Whether true or not I would expect that to be part of the defense.

If it could be proven it would amount to  complete exoneration, if it can't be proven but can be mde to seem likely it might amount to reasonable doubt.


I don't know much yet , but I have hot and cold running doubts already.

no matter the outcome of this case ,it still should address the question if similiar situation arises who  (beside it`s own internal company) are contractors answerable to.

They are in any case answerable first to whoever is shooting at them , all other claims are smaller.

>>They are in any case answerable first to whoever is shooting at them , all other claims are smaller.<<

That's right. That's not to say though that shouldn't be held accountable, they should be, but certainly not by those who they've been shooting at. They were hired to protect American citizens in a combat zone. Like them or not, that is the central fact.   

[Xavier_Onassis]

The testimony thus far is that NO ONE was shooting at them.

If this is the case, then the Blackwater group are simply murderous thugs. The difficulty is that at the time and place that this occurred, there appear to be no enforceable laws against such thuggery. This is because Rumsfeld did not choose to include any.

I will be surprised if anyone gets sentenced for this.

They might now that there is a new sheriff in town

Lets wait and see before labeling them all "murderous thugs". There are other reasons for opening up beyond being shot at, such as a fear of suicide bombers. One of them could have acted on what he thought was a threat, and then others panicked.

They were working for the state dept, does the Sec. of Def set up the laws governing state dept contractors?

---------------------------------------------------
There were no laws governing these guys. Remember that Rumsfeld was the one who wanted private contractors in the first place.

Maybe Cheney had a hand in this incompetence and inattention to detail as well.

Why wouod Rumsfeild advocate private guards?
Lots of well armed government employees were already working for Rumsfeild , and the state department could already have asked for Marine escort. Whoever chose to hire private guards must have been a state department boss.

I don't see any of this being a Rumsfeild idea.

[sirs]

You didn't get the memo, Plane.  Rumsfeld is evil, Bush is evil, Cheney is evil.  They all should have the term "Darth" before their names.  At least that seems to be the consistent impression trying to be applied by a large contingent of the left

So these evil Blackwater desperados pulled up to a girls school and opened fire for the fun of it?

Sure they did.
