[lbo-talk] 'Sinking in a Swamp Full of Blackwater'

[3.3.3.]

"...cause Iraqis to 'try to get killed.' " In the end, they agreed on
a $15,000 payment."

WTF...urgh.

I am a little pissed that the story about Marines "planting" ammo or
guns or whatever in order to snipe Iraqis was passed over last week.

Of course I had a good idea of how sadistic war would be in Iraq
before it started, but it never ceases to amaze me at how willing the
US is to setup people to be murdered.

Also missing from the hearing yesterday was an estimate of how many
attacks Blackwater has actually prevented, as opposed to just talking
about how this is what they are supposed to do.

Have they ever stopped one car bomb in Iraq?
