Blackwater 'killed 17', says Iraq

Source: BBC

The Iraqi government says a shooting in Baghdad last month involving the US security firm, Blackwater, killed more people than previously thought.

Originally it was said that 11 Iraqis had died but the government now says Blackwater guards killed 17 people.

Iraqi investigators also said that the Blackwater men did not come under fire.

Blackwater has not responded to the latest allegations, but has disputed previous accusations that its staff were the first to open fire.

2. The new Corporatist mafia paid 10 times what our military guys

would be paid for the same work. That greedy corporatist president just want to steal every taxpayer penny he can and transfer it upward to his filthy greedy friends.
These criminals don't have the accountability or ethics training of our brave military. This is just disgusting.
