And to those pro-Iraq war supporters that might argue the necessity of these contractors for security, I hear you. BUT, there have been more than ample claims of abuse of power. The privatization of U.S. military security to trigger-happy mercenaries is not something that the U.S. can afford when we're trying to win hearts and minds... :rolleyes:

Blackwater isn't the only private security firm just the most notable with too long of a leash.

I'm sure Blackwater will be back, somewhere. Ms. Clinton has a favor to repay anyway. :lol:

Out of Iraq, but still in the United States.

Blackwater Worldwide was made a scapegoat for failed US policy and rules-of-engagement.
