The danger in this is we may be setting up the US Army for the same
type of thing. There is plenty of evidence that our military has shot
innocent people too.
We can't even start to address the number of innocents who get killed
in aerial attacks, going back almost 20 years in these ill thought out
mid east adventures.
That is the nature of a war where virtually all of the combatants are
out of uniform, fighting from the cover of civilian neighborhoods.
Well, *we* can adhere to higher standards or, better, realize that these
wars are pretty much worthless adventures. As for Blackwater and its
criminal execs and employees, put 'em on trial and if they're convicted,
imprison them.
