.........Prosecutors now “will have to prove that any evidence they use in bringing charges against Blackwater employees was uncovered without using the guards’ statements to State Department investigators.”

The revelations occur as the Iraqi government “is demanding the right to launch its own prosecution of the Blackwater bodyguards.” Last week, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki revoked CPA Order 17, which granted security contractors “immunity from prosecution in Iraqi courts.”

While Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice told Congress last week she “regrets” the lack of oversight of Blackwater, she neglected to mention that she granted the Blackwater guards prosecutorial immunity after the shootings.

1. When will people learn to just assume the worst with these evil $#&*s?

Not like they haven't demonstrated their lack of morals and fundamental untrustworthiness time and time again.

I mean, do they not have hearts!
Can they just look at killing as a way to a means?
Cold-blooded Ba$tard$!!

4. Oil > Innocent Lives, Money > Innocent Lives, etc.

If I'm not mistaken, that's a large part of Straussian philosophy, that the masses exist to be exploited by their 'betters'.

2. Does she have the authority to do that?

I thought only prosecutors could grant immunity and only after being given a proffer.

5. I don't believe that she does have the authority to do that.. As I understand it...

this must come from the Justice Department.
