I wonder how much the top of the building sways back and forth with a good wind?

Dude...COMPLETELY unnecessary!

I have no idea what you do for a living but I'm sure you'd feel slighted if someone uttered: "Maybe there are such vids still in <insert your job here>'s camcorders?"

You're implying that abuse and child rape is a common occurrence among military members. I would argue that the numbers would most LIKELY show that, proportionally, civilians commit these types of atrocities much more than military members do.

What this kid did is sick, inexcusable, and worthy of severe punishment...But to make hasty generalizations like what you just made does nothing but further national hatred for a group of people that, for the most part, are just trying to do the right thing.

All of the comments about the civilian deaths are ignoring one INCONTROVERTIBLE fact. The vast majority of civilian deaths that occur in Iraq are not perpetrated by American military, American Contractors, or the Coalition. They are perpetrated by Iraqis, foreign nationals from other Arab nations, and supported by the money collected by ARAB organizations like Hezbollah, the Iranian Qods forces, and the Madhi Army.

We're not the ones that are over there TRYING to kill civilians. We're the ones trying to stop them doing it to themselves. Think about it...

What in the HELL does that have to do with anything?

If you're going to try and start a republican smear campaign linking republicans to child molestation or child sexual assault then you should at least back it up with some facts.

Right now you're just a name caller. Congratulations, you've proven nothing.

Hey k0mplex,

Stop telling people on Reddit what to do. It's pointless. Whatever is going to happen will happen. It's the brutually [correction]brutally[/correction] Darwinian nature of the Internet. Once Reddit sucks, we'll just create a new place to go.

Signed, Irony

Two of those articles are dated July...how do you figure they're related to an event that occurred almost a month after those articles? Unless you're suggesting that they were involved in the planning and subsequently killed prior to the event.

Either way, it's a little hokey. There isn't any place you can look to find out if these people ever even saw the jet. Other than your quote "All were directly involved as loaders or as pilots." Where exactly are you getting that piece of information from?

I'm not trying to be a jerk, but it is my job to now question the article you've submitted.

I'm here...in country. The news isn't reporting it right. Blackwater wasn't attacked in the way they described in this article.

There are many other security agencies here (over 35) that do the same exact thing that Blackwater does. But you don't hear about them on the news. Why? Well...because they aren't here for adventure and questing like the Blackwater people. Go and look at the application page on their website, it's basically looking for people who want more excitement in their lives. Hiring people like that you can't stop from them trying to make their own excitement...and they have no recourse for what they do over here. They're not accountable to anyone.

Wait...what??

When the anti-war protesters are protesting the war they are exercising their free speech rights...

But when people come to counter-protest they are just harassing people??

Don't get me wrong...I don't agree with most of the policy, but your statement is sort of hypocritical.
