Eric Prince is the devil and he needs to go to hell.

Makes one wonder where the outrage is when only one network reports the serious nature of this abuse. Have we lost it completely? ( Our National Identity!)

I want to read other people's comments. This is almost unbeleivable!

Now that the activist right-wing Supreme Court has ruled that Corporations are equal to us American citizens then the CEO and Board of Directors of Blackwater should face the exact same penalties as you or I would face if we instigating these criminal acts. Let's see how those law and order types respond to that?

I really worry. It seems like the SS (which means "Homeland Security") has a convenient mercenary group which can be used anywhere. I had hoped that Obama would stand up to the entrenched military, but instead he seems afraid. I do believe that the Tea Partiers are an even greater danger to him personally, but he can't compromise with evil in the military either. Even from a hawk viewpoint, it is a terrible mistake to hire people who are not disciplined nor qualified to do their job.

The silence from the White House on this is what scares me the most. Our 'national security' rests with these uneducated, ill-trained, mercenary cowboys???!!

I just don't get it what is wrong with our government? Whats wrong with our president? Where is our congress? Why are the people not out in the streets protesting? Everyone is up in arms about health care reform for us (and we should be) but in the mean time we allow our people(Blackwat er)to go slaughter innocent people its just not right.

This is all kabuki theater. Sen Claire McCaskill led the charge against ACORN for a flimsy-at-best castigation and she is expert at displaying high dudgeon at these blatant Blackwater/X/E sleazeballs lying through their teeth. But...will she lead the charge against Blackwater squeezing out more blood money from the US taxpayer? Fat chance. She'll be no where in sight! Who will mention it--Dennis the Menace & Bernie Sanders & Alan Grayson to name a measly few.
