1. No, that guy can write, AND there is something of substance there.

Unfortunately, those murderous Blackwater assholes will face no more justice than did any Americans in Haditha.

4. "Justified"

Among the questions still to be answered, the official said, is whether at any time nearby Iraqi security forces began firing, possibly leading the Blackwater convoy to believe it was under attack and therefore justified in returning fire. It is also possible that as the car kept rolling toward the intersection, the Blackwater guards believed it posed a threat and intensified their shooting.

That's a damn thin layer of justification. Are these people professionals or not? They need merely "believe" that they are under attack? That's the standard? Ridiculous.
