Federal judge allows military contractor Blackwater to begin training at San Diego warehouse

Staff AP News Jun 04, 2008 13:48 EST

A federal judge has ordered the city of San Diego to allow military contractor Blackwater Worldwide to begin using a new counterterrorism training facility. { :wtf: :puke: }

District Court Judge Marilyn Huff ruled Wednesday that the company would suffer irreparable harm if it could not begin holding classes for Navy sailors at a converted warehouse outfitted with an indoor firing range.

Blackwater sued last month to force the city to issue final occupancy permits after the required inspections were already approved.

The city responded that the company misled officials about the nature of the facility.

7. "the company would suffer irreparable harm"???
They don't sound very tough do they?

One little ruling against them and all of a sudden, they're "suffer(ing) irreparable harm"!

LOL!
