Evil Blackwater
At what point will Blackwater just admit to being evil? Last month's bloodbath and other civilian killings aside, last Christmas Eve one of Blackwater's employees got drunk and shot to death a body guard who was protecting the Iraqi Vice President. Blackwater removed the shooter from Iraq within 36 hours with the approval of the State Department. Other than being fired, no other action was taken against the inebriated killer. To keep things quiet and out of the press, the State Department recommended Blackwater pay the victim's family $250,000 but Blackwater felt that sum was "too large" so they offered to pay $15,000. The State Department agreed. The age of the mercenary has returned.
