We had to deal with the aftermath of these "bad shoots", so this was a very significant issue to us. We complained to COL Hooker, the commander of the 18th Corps Support Bde (he had jurisdiction over the contractors in our AO). COL Hooker became angry that we, a bunch of National Guardsmen, should question these professional mercenary organizations that were staffed with former active duty guys. He threw our officers and NCOs out of his office. I wonder how he remembers these series of incidents? I wonder if he lives with any guilt, both for the innocent Iraqis needlessly killed and also for the international incident that he let his personal prejudices all contribute to?

America under the bush has become a fascist state (check the word in the unabridged dictionary and see its origins with Mussolini's party).

“A preliminary Iraqi report on a shooting involving an American diplomatic motorcade said Tuesday that Blackwater security guards were not ambushed, as the company reported, but instead fired at a car when it did not heed a policeman’s call to stop, killing a couple and their infant.”

The Mercenaries’ widespread (if not universal) utter disregard - contempt even - for Iraqis’ lives and humanity is so well documented as to not be even remotely debatable.
