Nosathro -> FBI Report states Blackwater acted recklessly (11/14/2007 9:04:11 PM)

The FBI has issued a report on their investigation on what happened in the square in September where Blackwater Security fired on civilians in a square killing 17 people. The FBI states that there may have been some justification in the shooting deaths of 3 persons, based on rules of engagement. However, the 5 Blackwater Guards who opened fired were reckless in the killing of 14 others, all shot in the back as they were trying to flee.
 
Blackwater says they were defending themselves, Department of Justice is not sure if the Guards can charged and put on trial, State Department is silent as is the White House.

This has been extensively reported around the world and the deaths are generally seen as murder at worst and manslaughter through criminal negligence at best. The rules of engagement of Blackwater which are based on US army tactics have also been widely reported and condemned because of this. I think the FBI are doing something about this case now as an international PR job rather than one about justice.

Just me. I could be wrong.
