Don't you think that's something Condoleezza Rice should have told Waxman's committee the other day?

    OK let me see if I have this correct:

    Could this be viewed as another pardon?

    I suppose aside from BlackWater making a ton of money, more than any US Mil. Personnel, time off, working the hours they want, AND now they're protected as Bush gives them immunity as well.

    Erik Prince, the Night of Darkness is not only making money hand over fist from our tax dollars, has failed to pay any tax on, due to the way he's set up shop.( which the IRS has told him does not work that way_pay up)...his shop of horrors are protected by the Bush Adm.

    I think if I were in the Mil. I would be a bit ticked that BlackWater has different rules of engagement. Anything goes.

    Pres. Bush, each time he does anything, shows us that we have a dictator, only posing as a pres on TV.

    Both Dems and Rep ...well, I'm disgusted with both. Apparently it's one huge political orgy and we are the one's getting eff'd

    I think we need a plan. "A" obviously tanked out on us. Meaning all newly elec. officials.

      Unfortunately, I'm not surprised. Some people seem to have forgotten what the word accountability means.

        bruhaha, I'm not surprised either, but I'm something. I believe we need to devise a new set of words that would define what many of us feel right now concerning this entire huge fiasco or road to hell. Because my language skills are not nearly adequate enough to decribe what has been going on around the world, nor my reactions to them . Which much of it is traceable back to the Crazies. But I feel as though I am watching a horror movie and we've been thrust in as mere extras in a horrendous story line. All the while being ignored in terms of our feeling of being shocked by it all.

        I wonder if there comes a point when we the observers of this hell, will suffer from PTSS Present Stress Disorder Syndrome. Oh great now some big Pharm co will get wind of this amd tomorrow we'll see a commercial, ask your Doctor if this med is right for you. Then we'll all be sedated and the world burns. OK the last part was my sarcasm to the events.

        I refuse to let them make me feel helpless.

          insideoutgraphics,

          First off, another good post. Secondly, I think your vocabulary is quite adequate for expressing yourself in the face of the continued insanity we've discussed about the current administration and the Horror Show of inept politicians gracing Congress right now.

          As for PTSS, I don't need anything else to worry about (not that I really worry...I mostly rant), as Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) still has me agog.

          The video that accompanies the article is quite telling and little scary when you see how much power Blackwater, and similar organizations have, when it comes to government leeway and the business of being a mercenary.

            The CEO of Blackwater said he fully intends to make the U.S. military obsolete.

            f##k these icewholes! And their fascist enablers.
