"I want to kill somebody today,"

The Washington Post reports today on one example of unrestrained mercenaries in Iraq. With no one, military or civilian, having oversight for the merc's, bad things do happen.
"I want to kill somebody today," Washbourne said, according to the three other men in the vehicle, who later recalled it as an offhand remark. Before the day was over, however, the guards had been involved in three shooting incidents. In one, Washbourne allegedly fired into the windshield of a taxi for amusement, according to interviews and statements from the three other guards.
But there is justice in Iraq. Three of the merc's were fired for failing to file shooting reports in a timely manner. Oo-o-o!, that must hurt.
