Unfortunate Encounter

I didn't see this posted anywhere else so if I missed it someone let me know.

This guy gets it!. He understands what we are doing in Iraq and why we are there. It is however unfortunate the experience he had with his encounter with Blackwater.

It's long but I was blown away with what he did with the money he received.

I feel his pain.

Thank you

Thank you for that. Reaffirmed some beliefs. I knew Eric was scum but to blame it on the US military--I hadn't heard that one. The boys father shows more class that anyone in Blackwater/Xe management.

I have not tracked this event, but does anyone on here know 100% for sure the BW contractors acted without cause? This interview seems especially one sided. It's always a shame when an inocent gets killed, but I'd trust former comrades, before I trusted an indig who may have an agenda

On Democracy Now! Naw, they have democracy in their name. Have a little peek at some of their other stories: Democracy Now! Bring a barf bag.

Oh, and the Nation? If you try to get further Left of these two media outlets you'll fall off the flat earth.
