Good News for Blackwater Is Bad News for Industry | David Isenberg | Cato Institute: Commentary

Good News for Blackwater Is Bad News for Industry | David Isenberg | Cato Institute: Commentary: "U.S. military reports from the scene indicated that Blackwater guards opened fire without provocation and used excessive force against Iraqi civilians."

"Reportedly American investigators were told that during the shootings at least one Blackwater guard continued firing on civilians while colleagues urgently called for a cease-fire. At least one guard apparently also drew a weapon on a fellow guard who did not stop shooting.

Reportedly FBI agents found that at least 14 of the shootings were unjustified and violated deadly-force rules in effect for security contractors in Iraq."
