Status: offline 		Lengthy sentences were handed down in the Blackwater guards case stemming from the atrocities commited in Nisour square on sept 16,2007.
The trial had a long and winding road....but in the end some measure of American Justice was finally handed down over this black mark in American History.
Just maybe we have realized that out-sourcing war is a very ,very bad idea.....hard enough to keep trained Army units on the necessary leash when dealing with urban environments chock full of civilians.Adding scores of highly paid private contractors to the mix is a recipe for disaster as this incidence reveals.
Mr .Slatten a former Army sniper ,who witnesses testified started the melee with a precision shot through the head of a young man recieved a life sentence....three other guards received thirty year terms.
The court room was packed with friends and family of the prisoners,many wearing Blackwater tee shirts.
Not so many members of the victims families attended.....distance being an issue

Kudos to the US and all responsible for justice being handed down.

Sentences were handed down,justice won't have been served till these guys serve out their respective sentences.
The process won't have been completed till than,it's a certainty that all of these verdicts and their sentences will be appealed all the way down the line.
Unfortunately ,as the packed courtroom of supporters demonstrate,there is a large contingent who feel these men are nothing more than scapegoats....and should not have even been charged,much less found guilty and sent away for considerable sentences.
After all is said and done what is being measured in the American justice system is the value of Iraqi lives measured against the freedom of ex soldiers.
It will be years before finality is reached.

How about Hillary

quote:

Blackwater a contributor to Clinton's presidential foundation

blackwater-logo.jpgWhen Sen. Hillary Clinton was first being considered for Secretary of State, many questioned how she would navigate potential conflicts between her new job -- now secured -- and contributions to the William J. Clinton Foundation.

Run by her husband, former president Bill Clinton, the foundation has taken large gifts from entities -- including national governments -- that will be in negotiations with the State Department.

Today, the Foundation released the names of 205,000 donors. The Associated Press has a detailed story about the potential conflicts involved, and one of the most interesting is this:
The Blackwater Training Center donated $10,001 to $25,000. The State Department will have to decide next year whether to renew Blackwater Worldwide's
contract to protect U.S. diplomats in Iraq. Five Blackwater guards have
been indicted by a U.S. grand jury on manslaughter and weapons charges
stemming from a September 2007 firefight in Baghdad's Nisoor Square in
which 17 Iraqis died.

If he's this far off the rails now, wait until Hillary wins the election. You'll hear his aneurysm all the way down in the carolinas.
