Investigating Blackwater

Back in February, Blackwater murdered 3 Iraqi guards at the Iraqi Media Network. Yesterday the State Dept, cleared Blackwater of any wrong doing, after all they were just shooting Iraqis. The Washington Post examines the event and the investigation. It is a long article but all you really need to know is
"The embassy conducted a review of the circumstances surrounding the whole shooting incident and essentially what happened is, after going over all the reports, interviewing all the personnel that were involved in it, talking with people that were coming back in the motorcade, they concluded that the actions of the security team fell within the approved rules," the official said.

"To say Blackwater was the only source of information for this investigation is completely false," the security official added.
Left unsaid was the part about their being the only ones listened to.
