Mercs shoot up bystanders, lose license
But thanks to Paul Bremer and his corps of Republikiddies there seems to be a law exempting mercenaries from liability when they shoot non-US personnel. Do not be surprised if the Iraqi parliament seeks to change this with greater dispatch than they have shown up to now. Blackwater, on the other hand, is very well connected with the White House mob. Eric Prince and his company have a relationship with Our Dear Embattled Leader that probably matches that enjoyed by Louis "Lepke" Buchhalter and his Brownsville Boys with Lucky Luciano, so there will be no serious repercussions for the company and probably only a minor dip in profits before ODEL puts Malaki and his crew in their place. Probably the only ones who will suffer are the troops who will have to face an increasing number of Iraqis who have had enough of ODEL's Benevolent Occupation. But troops are nothing to Republicans, profits are everything so after a lot of fustian and bombast it will be business as usual for Blackwater in no time.
