Blackwater Policy: Shoot First - Count Bodies Later

The founder of Blackwater, Erik Prince, would have us believe that they are acting in the best interest of the United States when they have no accountability to the military, the U.S. criminal justice system, nor the Iraqi government. Complete and utter Bull Dung. There is no way that you can put a bunch of gun toting, gung ho, ex-military personnel in a position where they have no accountability to any court system and not have problems. In fact, there have been warnings from several Defense Department staff about what would happen if we allowed private security firms to be deployed in Iraq. They predicted the abuses that have occurred. They told us that they lack of accountability would be to the detriment of Iraqi civilians. It's all coming true, and it will only get worse if our government does not act now to stop it. Blackwater represents no one and is accountable to no one. They should be contracted by no one.
