I'm sure the FBI will have a thorough investigation of this incident and the truth will come out. If the contractor knows he did not do anything criminal than he should not be hesitant to answer questions by the FBI. I wonder about the ones who have obtained lawyers because of the investigation. If you commit a crime overseas then you should be prosecuted for that crime. I don't see how Blackwater could be exempt. Time will tell. It is just regretable that this happened in the first place.     http://dailynightly.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/10/30/438529.aspx#440804Wed, 31 Oct 2007 15:45:54 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:440804Edith Lerstrom, Decorah, IowaI believe that if we don't vigorously prosecute these and some of our other behaiors in Iraq that the War Crimes Tribunal will.  I hope so.  I don't see how the people of the United States cannot feel shamed and extremely angery that our government though ignorance or tacit approval allowed these unsupervised killers to roam the streets of Iraq.http://dailynightly.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/10/30/438529.aspx#443668Thu, 01 Nov 2007 20:11:31 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:443668Scott Slack St. George Ut.Edith, I thought that people were considered innocent untill proven guilty. You weren't even there and have probably never served in a war zone what right do you have to judge these men.http://dailynightly.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/10/30/438529.aspx#663692Thu, 14 Feb 2008 05:10:33 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:663692Tom BrownBlackWater is nothing more than a big money laundering scheme. People with no morals who justify murder. Maybe our great leader should let the Lord do his job.http://dailynightly.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/10/30/438529.aspx#966314Thu, 01 May 2008 12:20:43 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:966314ParaTrooperI saw, and fought alongside Blackwater Operators. They are professional, they have orders from top brass to engage Mahdi militia whenever possible, and they NEVER lose a client, or a firefight. Except for the debacle in Fallujah. Some are cowboys, true, but you will almost NEVER see a VBIED kill them. They shoot the tires, the engines of vehicles in back of them, leaving a wide gap. There's no doubt they were taking fire in the much publicised incident, and, since the "brave" muj hug innocents, the innocents get killed. Until you have walked in thier shoes, don't be so fast to condemn.
