Hey Bob, Thanks for the intro!

This DOJ press release is pretty damning even if remotely accurate. A SAW and M203 , IMO exceeds proportionate use of force on civilians. The press rep makes it clear the individuals are responsible, not Blackwater


Guards Used Grenades

Yep and agree, I understand they are not subject to the UCMJ. Are they subject to the Rules of Armed Conflict (Gevena Conventions). In other words, did they kill Iraqi civilian violating the principles of military necessity along with distinction and proportionality?
lol...let the mind twisting begin. Bob
