Oh Blackwater keep on rolling?
The trigger happy corporate mercenery guys at Blackwater security will be getting chaporones when they escort State Department officials out of the "Green" Zone in Iraq. It seems someone in the State Department thinks that it may not be in the best interests of the United States to have corporate soldiers killing civilians in foreign countries. I tend to agree.

Blackwater blowback
"Senior Iraqi officials repeatedly complained to U.S. officials about Blackwater USA's alleged involvement in the deaths of numerous Iraqis, but the Americans took little action to regulate the private security firm until 11 Iraqis were shot dead last Sunday, according to U.S. and Iraqi officials."-Washington Post
"Meet the new boss same as the old boss" As the Who song reminds us that the tone deaf Bush administration ignores the outcry against Blackwater's killing of Iraqi civilians. But, more importantly the use of private security company like Blackwater raises disturbing questions about our government. If the U.S. Government can not protect our diplomats how can we expect them to protect us. Welcome to Bushworld!
