It is said that one Blackwater employee at the scene in fact had to point his weapon at another simply to get him to stop shooting recklessly. Again the FBI determined 14 of the 17 murdered was not justifiable self defense or the like. And 3 of those were 'maybe'…

Don't be confused by the name calling and diverting of attention my friends, the fact that these PMC's were utilized in such great numbers, and with little regards to oversight and accountability, can be traced to the bush administration. Authorization of force and conduct has little bearing on ACTUAL conduct.…

The FBI of all organizations had determined that 14 of the 17 killings were NOT justified in this incident.

And Bush and others responsible for this Iraq debacle do share responsibility for this and other incidents. The fact is arrogants like rumsfeld thought that the iraq war would be…

It's a shame Blackwater has brought so much misery to the people of Iraq and really made things hard for the U.S. military with their methods.

Oh my gosh, she seemed to have completely disappeared off the map. She was and still is one of the finest Jp women I have seen, so it's nice to see her back again. And the usual blurb about her love life. Nice to see Hinano san back.

Wow, 3000 people, out of hundreds of millions? That sounds pretty representative of the whole nation of Japan. But 28 percent is not that bad of a number compared to relations between the U.S. and other nations.

Good, let these terrorists and thugs know that there are limits to activism. People here and elsewhere would never condone groups like the ALF bombing meat plants and attacking meat plant workers, or bombing animal testing facilities. I don't care if it's the U.S. or Japan, there's a right way…

Truly this 'president' has no shame. Notice how he is finally, after all these years in office painting a glowing, rosy picture of everything in the world, starting to admit the painful truths. The economy is in a recession. The auto companies may tank. Pre war intelligence in iraq was…
