Blackwater out of Iraq

Done. Of course, this is not the end of Blackwater and perhaps will provide the impetus to prove that no one can push them around, but all the same, HAHA. Fuck the people who run that company and everyone who works for them.

Blackwater mercenaries' violence revealed a bit more

From an Associated Press article:

"WASHINGTON – Blackwater Worldwide security guards opened machine gun fire on innocent, surrendering Iraqis and launched a grenade into a girls' school during a gruesome Baghdad shooting last year, prosecutors said Monday in announcing manslaughter charges against five guards."

Blackwater's got thousands of these guys, armed to the fucking teeth and ready to blow. They use them here too. A bunch of them went to New Orleans when Katrina hit and played war, and who knows where and what else they are up to. It's fucked. Thousands.

The government vs. Blackwater

The federal government of the United States finally threw something at those megapigs for hire, Blackwater Worldwide. Of course, they're not leveling anything at the company, just six individuals who, apparently unprovoked, shot up a bunch of random Iraqis in Baghdadlast year, killing 17, including children. I guess the government had to do something to save face and couldn't go along with Blackwater's repeated statements that everything that happened was justified.
