The Oversight Committee holds a hearing on Blackwater. The hearing examines the mission and performance of private military contractor Blackwater USA in Iraq and Afghanistan. Erik Prince, the owner of Blackwater, will testify as well as three State Department officials. The hearing specifically addresses three key questions: (1) Is Blackwater's presence advancing or undermining U.S. efforts? (2) Has State Department responded appropriately to the shooting incidents involving Blackwater forces? (3) What are the costs to U.S. taxpayers for the reliance on Blackwater and other private military contractors? Chairman Henry Waxman gives opening remarks.

This, in my opinion was just retaliation against the alledged crimes that blackwater has committed, which, like Waxman said, isn't helping the U.S. efforts in Iraq. Kick blackwater out now. Make them accountable.
Look at the smirk on prince's face. Blackwater should go away, we don't need them. What blackwater and state department have done regarding the alledged crimes, like the New Year's Eve murder, is incomprehensible. Why would they fly the contractor out of the country so quickly. There needs to be accountability.
"we are trying to do , for the national security apparatus, what FedEx did for the postal service" i dont think i need to point out the big difference between war and postal delivery. also, i dont agree with the war. so why the fuck would i paying for someone to fight in Iroq, when im paying the us military to begin with. secondly i pay fed ex to ship my item to me Quicker. so what!? am i paying Blackwater to kill Iraqi insurgents quicker? that's the our military's job you ass hole!
umm...what!? they are all former military/law enforcement..not just a bunch of kids that play video games all the time..and actually they aren't allowed to go on the offense..but they are allowed to defend themselves. the few that commit crimes are wrong and should be punished..but these men would have likely done the same if they were in a military unit. Have your opinion but at least be knowledgeable about what you have an opinion on.
Done the same? The military has to answer to court marshall, blackwater answers to no one, but I'm sure they'll answer to God when the time comes. I don't think the military would've done the same.

We are already too far down the road to fight back...without bloodshed.
They will continue to get away with murder.
