Blackwater USA's license revoked in IRAQ

Yes, I'm sure these eeeeevil Blackwater types (mostly criticized by smaller merc firms, who are doing the same thing and stand to gain monetarily if Blackwater disappears) just gunned down a bunch of innocent civilians because they were bored.

Jesus christ.
 
even if they werent, accountability should always be a part of an armed force ... whats next .. corporation wars over who pumps the stuff from iraq?
 
Accountability's one thing... expecting armed forces not to respond to violence just because the people attacking them are "just civilians" is something else.

Meh. Moot point anyhow, they've been reinstated.

There is not allot to talk about here however, I did find it an interesting read. For some, it may help explain why the "insurgency" continues to gain momentum. What are your thoughts on this article?

tl;dr but I merged Blackwater threads.
 
At least it has raised some awareness of their actions to the forefront for the time being. 'till the next poptart scandal and hopefully an aroused interest in the practices of outsourcing everything. I do find it slightly humerus that it brought the entire "diplomatic" mission to a grinding halt. But another interesting contract they seem to be in the process of getting is the war on drugs.
