They killed so many civilians without any apparent reason with such brutality and impunity including this 9 year old whose brain came out and fell between his father's feet as he watched him die.

Worst of all they denied it all and told the congress they were defending themselves. They were acquitted in the court for all counts and I would not be surprised if they were acquitted for killing this young innocent child.

This is not an isolated incident and these were not the only rogue mercenaries in Iraq. It seems we have forgotten our values of liberty and justice for all.

Not upvoting politics... for what it's worth the US Justice department is appealing the decision to dismiss their case.

But if Blackwater mercenaries had killed my 9 year old son, I would want Erik Prince tried before the Hague for crimes against humanity. I still want Erik Prince tried before the Hague.

The deaths are a tragedy to be sure, but the interesting thing about this particular case is the exceptional morality of the boy's father. When the child of a man like Mohammed Kinani dies, it doesn't matter whose side you were fighting on that day, you lost.
