Just another OJ sunrise for this new year. Just when you thought this year couldn't end on a lower note Blackwater skates on a technicality. Go figure? Bush wrote executive orders that protected them, Cheney made sure they were paid well above our armed forces. The media played along and reported them as civilians and not mercenaries. Even today we are mourning the deaths of innocent civilians killed by bombers in Iraq...what they don't tell you is some of them are hired CIA mercenaries. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/12/31/blackwater-shooting-charg_n_408604.html http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/asiapcf/12/31/afghanistan.us.casualties/index.html Civilian consultant...just what does that mean? Scab, or mercenary talk about political correctness. I guess it depends on which monied interest controls the reporting. I am tired of religion being painted as the bad guy, I am ready to follow the scent of money this year.
I think the worst part of the Blackwater fiasco is that they haven't reported all of their causalities during their involvement in the Iraq war, of course meaning that current armed forces causality count is much higher than is currently reported.
