    man, one of the guys even surrendered, pleaded GUILTY to the shootings.

    Not sure why Blackwater isn't being charged as well.

    Private Military like Blackwater USA appear to be the wave of the future especially with ALL the immunity they receive from our government. I hope they receive a lesson by being found guilty here because next they'll want to make more more right here in the good ol' USA.

    yeah private mercenaries take the military out of the hands of governments....corporations can hire these guys, which is very scary.


    I think after Katrina the US government hired Blackwater to "protect" certain areas...was a precedent. now its legal for the US government to hire private security firms to use against US civilians. very scary.

    corporations with armies? fuck that.

    Yes they most certainly were down in New Orleans after Katrina.

    Blackwater: The Rise of the World’s Most Powerful Mercenary Army
    AMY GOODMAN: Back home, New Orleans.

    JEREMY SCAHILL: Blackwater showed up in New Orleans without a contract right after Hurricane Katrina hit, beat most federal agencies to the hurricane zone, within days was hired up by the Department of Homeland Security. Blackwater paid its men, they told me, $350 a day. They billed the federal government $950 a day per Blackwater man. At one point, they had 600 men stretched from Texas all the way to Mississippi through the Gulf. Blackwater was raking in sometimes $240,000 a day.

    In an act of extraordinary cynicism, Blackwater in November of 2005 held a fundraiser, a Hurricane Katrina fundraiser. Paul Bremer was the keynote speaker, and they pulled in $138,000 and gave it to the Red Cross. I didn’t see the Red Cross at all when I was in New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. But the point is they gave $138,000, but they were pulling in $240,000 a day.
