Quoting teaschip1: Quoting AlphaF: No games...It is my powers of deduction...
You tell me how Mr. Cheyney plans to make his fortune, in a world of peace... |
Well a world of peace would be nice, but unrealistic any time soon. Do you expect a politicians motive to be otherwise different? If so, you have higher expectations about political figures than I do.. |
People can always have secret ambitions...but a setting up a murder company is something else....Your man needs a lot of action around the world: That is business for him...

The people in Blackwater are former military specialists, seals etc..What is the difference between having specialized units in the military or blackwater? Killing is killing.. I don't see why your so upset, your not a U.S. taxpayer..
As far as Cheney being MY man, I admit that sounds appealing since he is wealthy and isn't very visible..Heck that sounds kind of convienent like being married to a doctor. He brings home the money but isn't around. However, I don't recall ever being an advocate of Cheney..

Military specialists?
They are not subject to Geneva Convention....Normally they should all be considered spies and be shot at sight. They do not deserve military honors.

Blackwater is accountable under the U.S. Constitution, international treaties, U.S. regulations, defense trade controls acts and numerous U.S. statutes.
Specifically, the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) applies to contractors accompanying the total force and the Military Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Act (MEJA) creates jurisdiction for federal court trials. Any wrongdoing is covered under statutes such as the War Crimes Act, the Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act, the Anti-Torture Statute, the Defense Base Act, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and many other domestic and international regulations. Blackwater advocates stricter enforcement of existing laws.

Actually that is not true....
Standish hits on a critical point- “Blackwater’s diplomatic security people are employed by the State Department and accompany diplomats - not the armed forces. No such law exists to prosecute for the September 16 incident. That’s not Blackwater’s fault. It’s the fault of Congress.â€
Prosecuting Blackwater guards raises legal questions

This has been proved to be a myth, Alameda. Please do your research and come up with some factual truth instead of posting links you just happen to read. Your really making yourself look real good here lately with all of your stupid responses and links that have no relative value.

Better ask your father again...dont let him mislead you.
What American laws and regulations say about them is irrelevant and do not bind others.
That they should be treated as spies (according to international treaties) is clear, and you better warn them about this fine and intricate point...

Feds narrow Blackwater probe to 3 guards
In a big victory for Blackwater, federal prosecutors have narrowed their wrongdoing probe to only 3 guards involved in the September 16 shootout at Baghdad's Nisoor Square.
The Associated Press reports, "two weeks into a federal grand jury investigation, people close to the case told AP that authorities have focused the number who could face charges to about three of the dozen or more guards on the security detail."
This is a sure sign that federal prosecutors do not believe that the company itself acted improperly, and that wrongdoing, if any, on September 16 was a very rare exception to the rule. Blackwater has provided more than 17,000 diplomatic security missions successfully in Iraq since 2004. US Ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker - one of the nation's most respected career ambassadors - has strongly stood by Blackwater and its practices that are credited with saving the lives of American diplomats and others.
Being the subject of a criminal investigation does not, under US law and custom, mean that the individuals are guilty.
But the small number of guards expected to be prosecuted also indicates that the federal grand jury does not believe the line from the Iraqi Ministry of Interior (MOI) that the security providers as a whole shot indiscriminately or without provocation that day. The MOI controls the country's national police. Evidence backs up Blackwater's original reports that the diplomatic convoy under the company's protection was indeed fired upon at Nisoor Square on that day

I'm a grown woman with a son in college, I don't have to ask my father for anything thank you.
I won't have to see your postings about Indians for very long, since you have so much anger your most likely going to have a heart attack sooner or later. You really do need anger management classes, Omega. Does your wife realize how much time you spend here arguing with members? Or maybe she's glad it's not her your arguing with.

I hope none of the Blackwater guys are caught - armed and pretending to be a soldier - in any sensible and capable country...
We shall understand what regulations apply then....
