U.S. Security Contractors Open Fire in Baghdad - washingtonpost.com

U.S. Security Contractors Open Fire in Baghdad - washingtonpost.com: "The Blackwater employees refused to divulge their names or details of the incident to Iraqi authorities, according to two of the U.S. officials and the Iraqi official. The officials described a tense standoff that ensued between the Blackwater guards and Interior Ministry forces -- both sides armed with assault rifles -- until a passing U.S. military convoy intervened."

WTF? So, basically we have private American's (NOT U.S. soldiers) with a license to kill Iraqi civilians and not answer to murder charges when questioned by authorities? That makes absolutely no sense. The world is not going to stand for that very much longer.
