The shooting in busy Nisoor Square left 17 Iraqis dead and inflamed anti-American sentiment abroad. It touched off a string of investigations that ultimately led the State Department to cancel the company's lucrative contract to guard diplomats in Iraq.
Iraqis have said they're watching closely to see how the U.S. judicial system handles the five men accused of unleashing an unprovoked attack on civilians with machine guns and grenades.

Where is the Change? I held my nose and voted for Mr. Obama, he has been captured by the military industrial complex, I had a feeling he would not have the guts and courage to make the changes he promised, an empty suit, just like many of us thought

Seems as though Washington has gotten into the bridge building business. From one administration to the next. Soon those of us with blind optimism will be starring in a new reality show hosted by the pres. I think its going to be called, YOU GOT DUPED!

These PMCs are the embodiment of what is wrong with war, killing for money.
I hope these men are charged with the murders they commited just like the other PMC workers you can find on youtube running around cities in iraq killing harmless civilians without reasons but their own bloodlust.

the shooters should be hung by their toes, if it was unprovoked. I wish the state would let them face their peers.
sidenote, how did a story that only has 15 views get so far up the current list?
