This is CNN's piece? We are supposed to feel sorry for Blackwater? They are simply killers. They are not even legally soldiers. They are a subterfuge the US government has found to kill and kill without accountability and outside the rules of engagement.

No sympathy for those mothers. They raised cold-blooded killers, not decent human-beings. It's like crying for a nazi's mom.

LMAO! Screw the Mercenary's!

@DreamOfTurtles you have no idea what you are talking about. Blackwater is the one who you should be mad at, not the people who work for them. They are mostly ex-special forces who have worked their entire lives for the sole purpose of keeping you free. They are not the ones who are cold-blooded, you are the one, especially for criticizing these men who were brutally killed

What do you expect from Wolf Blizter, the zionist Jew?

1) bush doesn't want a draft, that would shut down the iraq war straight away.

2) When bush calls in directive 51 he'll have his private army doing to us what they are doing to iraq citizens

3) Prince is a christian neo-con and a bush crony.

4) NWO

Imagine if they WEREN'T there...wouldn't that put a heavy burden on America's military. Is there a reason WHY the government chooses to use these guys as opposed to "doubling up" on the military. These guys protect and serve just like our sons and daughters. Their lives are worth JUST as much as those who are in uniform.

Well, their families certainly didn't ask for this, so there is no doubt in my mind that I'll feel for them.

Whoops, sorry for the double post. Still getting the hang of things.

They are suing to get information on their loved one's deaths. They were told that they have to sue in order to get that info; they aren't suing for the sake of it. It's unfortunate that Blackwater won't give them a straight answer and they're leaving these families with no alternate options. Also, they may have volunteered to take this paid job fully knowing the risks involved, but where's your soul my friend?
