3 for 17
Even if you can believe that 3 of the 17 deaths in the Blackwater Massacre were righteous, .176 is a piss poor batting average for an outfit that says they are the best. The FBI, however, having finished its investigation has concluded that 3 of the deaths could be justified under the rules in place at the time. That still leaves 14 bodies outside the rules. The best you can say about this is in this paragraph from the NYT.
A separate military review of the Sept. 16 shootings concluded that all of the killings were unjustified and potentially criminal. One of the military investigators said the F.B.I. was being generous to Blackwater in characterizing any of the killings as justifiable.The FBI has a long history of being generous, just ask Whitey Bulger.
