Every detail of September 16, 2007, is burned in Mohammed Kinani's memory. Shortly after 9 am he was preparing to leave his house for work at his family's auto parts business in Baghdad when he got a call from his sister, Jenan, who asked him to pick her and her children up across town and bring them back to his home for a visit. The Kinanis are a tightknit Shiite family, and Mohammed often served as a chauffeur through Baghdad's dangerous streets to make such family gatherings possible.

1. Blackwater needs to be permanently closed

That murdering a-hole Prince needs to be extraordinarily renditioned and enhanced interrogated to get the TRUTH the hypocritical Conservatives scream Americans deserve.

Then, the chicken-shit punk needs to be driven into abject poverty, giving his ill-gotten blood money to the family of his murdered victims.

Fuck anyone who becomes a mercenary (Contractor sounds so much nicer, huh?) for XE after knowing this was ALLOWED and DEFENDED by Prince.

4. I just read it. It should cause every American to rise up

and demand, first the prosecution of those murderous thugs, and then the disbanding of that criminal mercenary army of killers and a thorough investigation into how in this country, such an organization has ever been allowed to function. The owner, Erik Prince, the arrogant, criminal and accused murderer should be tried for treason.

This country so desperately needs help to rid us of these murderers and torturers, and it's an absolute disgrace that taxpayers are funding this 'heinous shit' as the one Blackwater member said after watching the slaughter that day.

I can't believe that this organization is now working in Afghanistan. They are pure evil.

R.I.P. little Ali. Maybe his death will lead to the end of mercenaries completely. That poor father, he loved his son so much and to think they thought they could just buy him off. :cry:

Kudos to Jeffrey Scahill once again for exposing this evil. I hope he is well protected.

3. I think the lawsuits shoud involve the Powell-Rice State Department and by

inheritance, the Clinton State Dept for keeping Blackwater/Xe.

Sorry to be say something so drastic - but go to the top - if Powell/Rice were told to take on Blackwater - then go further up.

The terminology is correct - they are mercenaries and the horrors are easy to rectify - break the contract.

Why did Obama/Clinton renew this evil is beyond comprehension.

Out country is condemned in a way that was preventable.

How does a country contract with a company so sinister, so rotten in its human life attitude, so slanted in human superiority, so pumped up on drugs?, so brain washed against humanity?
