Iraq Moves to End Mercenary ImmunityPosted on Sep 25, 2007
Legislation that will be submitted to the Iraqi parliament would end immunity for private security contractors and make them subject to Iraqi law. The former Coalition Provisional Authority’s Order 17 currently keeps contractors in a legal bubble, making prosecution next to impossible.

We should be similarly ending the immunity of Bush Cheney. Why haven’t impeachment proceedings been started on them?

Those crazy Iraqi’s.They must be reading the state department press releases about a sovereign and democratic Iraq.People of Iraq you have a better chance of becoming the 51st state than trying Blackwater personnel in” your"country.It will make the interior ministry rich by the bribes that will be paid everytime some infraction occurrs.But isn’t that the real reason for this mission to make people rich in America and Iraq while the little people lose their children.If we can agree on this finally we can hang “mission accomplished"with pride.

I’m cheering for them to be successful. Bush keeps blathering on about Democracy. Bring it on!

I’d like to know what fantasy world any Iraqi is in when he or she thinks they actually have a say in what happens in their own country. Welcome to the new world dictatorship courtesy of Bu$h Inc.

Yes, let us see if Iraq can act on their own, or will captitulate to American demands.
