Here's an article on the Blackwater subject. It was a headline in today's NY Times.

I don't think it really would've mattered what they were doing. I think we need to be careful to not turn this into some twisted rationalization. "Oh...they were doing that???? Well now I can see why a 10 year old boy would step on the head of a burning corpse."

The "mercs" from Fiji were hired out by a British company, me thinks. But aside from corporations and government officials hiring these guys out, it has also been done by Iraqi communities that wanted to protect their property in light of the post-war anarchy that had been going on.
