This is an exclusive by DN - The father of the youngest Blackwater/ XE victim, 9 y/o Ali Kinani, who was shot in the head while sitting in his car with his father, cousins and Aunt. These people undermine any "progress"/goodwill we have in these areas and destabilize military structure.

I posted this under another article but due to the lack of insight and information on Blackwater, I think it deserves it's own place. Watch it if you can but it is VERY disturbing.

      Yes, I did read that and it was off topic, that was just my fun way of saying it? Also - you can see who posted the article up at the top right. I wasn't being hateful, but u do what you want - I just think it's weird when people put up serious articles and then someone comes on and talks about pot? Carry On.

    • Totally private and totally unaccountable corporate mercenaries.

      This is what W Bush and Cheney and the other neocons that worship the free market don't understand. There is a difference between a US Solider and a mercenry.

      Our military has honor.

      Corporate mercenaries just fucking kill people....and then get paid $300,000 a month out of YOUR tax dollars.

      Actually, that last statement wouldn't offend any Republicans. They would GLADLY pay killers....so long as they were killing non-Christians and non-whites in a foreign country. They would just be nodding their heads and saying, "Hell yeah! Kill'em all! Kill all them towelheads! Revenge for 9/11! Yee-haw!"

      Don't know you and haven't read enough to have an idea, but I am getting annoyed at the neg. marks on all your comments. Like they just follow you and vote you down.
      You made two decent points, one irrelevant. thumbs up. can't tell if your just trying to be "most hated", if thats the case, thumbs up too.

      um... I take the bus, don't eat meat and give my self a "power allowance" - Also I have written to representatives and posted various articles so that people can educate themselves. Your response: Stop smoking Dope? wow....

      Agreed that Obama is no better than the Bush policies he continues. However, pot smokers come in a large variety and most you'd never know they did it. Pot does not cause violence or irrational behavior. You should make peace with them because they support many of your ideas.

      They? Wouldn't that apply to any broad generalization of the populace? ("Support" or lack thereof?)
      This guy ("obamaisajoke") isn't capable of comprehending very much of anything further than his very skewed and narrow view. It comes from education, (which I would venture to guess he has very little of) and pot has nothing to do with it.

    • I have already written multiple anti-Blackwater and private para-military comments as well as some of my own personal experiences with these arseholes. But, a very important point was made. The arrogance and sadistic nature of these private soldiers is going to ruin whatever good will we are trying to accomplish in both Iraq and Afghanistan. But, Blackwater isn't going anywhere soon. They are to juiced into Washington's power elite and the truth of the matters is most politicians who visit either the big sand box or the rock garden chose these to be escorted by these private security firms as opposed to the U.S Military.

      Yes, this is a collective site and other people have posted about Blackwater as well, including myself. This was one of the most important pieces I have seen so far.. so I posted it, as it was missed. I agree that they do many jobs that they shouldn't - they get contracts to do jobs that used to be part of the military, now they are above it. I heard this and couldn't believe that the main stream media had failed in their reporting! So let's keep t up!

      I hope you really believe that there's any real "good will" that is the driving force... I get the impression that it has a little more to do with empire though. Thoughts?

      "They?"

      So 13 Saudi Arabians operating out of Afghanistan hijack some airplanes (because OUR security sucked) and that now means every single human being in 2 countries is now expendable and/or our "enemy"?

      What about Timothy McVey? He attacked "America" so why don't we slaughter all milita groups and all anti-government groups and, hell, all Southerns?

      C'mon! Timothy McVey attacked US and that means that all those people "like him" need to die!!!!

      Or did you forget his attack?

      Did he/they ever say that (Obama & Co.)? I've never heard that, but I could be wrong.

      Either way, has ANYONE ON THIS THREAD SAID ANYTHING ABOUT ANYTHING YOU'RE YAPPING ABOUT REGARDING OBAMA??? Last I checked, this thread was about Blackwater. I have no opinion on Obama or any other corporate politico, none of them are much more than whatever massive corporations pay them to be.

      Eat it.
