Earlier this month, four "security contractors" shot up a car in Kabul, Afghanistan, wounding two civilians. The "contractors" were off duty and were drinking at the time.
Now here is the real non-shocker: They worked for Blackwater (or one of the shell companies that Blackwater is using to disguise themselves).
Blackwater fired the four "contractors" for "failure to follow standards and regulations", which I take to mean that (a) they shot too few people, and (b) they didn't kill any of those that they shot.
Also, I just love how CNN uses the word "accident", as if what happened was a fender-bender in heavy traffic.

What I've heard about Blackwater's fun in Iraq has infuriated me. Honorable & professional soldiers doing their jobs had their effect nullified in an instant by overpaid yahoos with guns. Makes me sick - I hope they are well prosecuted, preferably by the Iraqis.
Did you see the youtube video of some contractors riding around in a Humvee? Boom box blaring, laughing, shooting up random vehicles behind them. Must be a lot of that happening we never hear about.
