Just as the Christian schools in the Prince home town of Holland Michigan got pumped up by political favors perhaps.

One of the reasons I am proud to be an American is that we hold all people equally accountable. The use of Blackwater by the Bush Administration has cheapened our belief in justice.

I get it. When Balckwater thugs are ALLEGED to do something then its for certain.
When Iraqi terrorists are alleged to do something then a whole slew of excuses are dragged out:
False flag operation by Mossad, American media in pay of Bush and Zionists got it wrong,killings were justified as being freedom fighting operation etc., whoever got killed deserved what they got etc.

Since this is a possible court case, its innocent until proven otherwise.
This has to be a standard for all parties not just those who you fear.

Please, do not follow this "RED-HERRING". By claiming their employees were disobeying orders and high on drugs, BLACKWATER can come out clean, in order to kill somewhere else again. It took them a month to come up with this strategy after the IMMUNITY deal was exploded.

Actually the people using "judgement-altering substance" are Bush and his fucked up, corrupt, and incompetent administration.

who really cares ?

Dead Iraqis - dead Arabs of ANY kind mean nothing to Americans.

Kill them all - women and children first - then steal all the Oil profits.

Dead US Troops - Dead Iraqis = MONEY in dick cheney's bloody pockets.

USA = MURDER Inc.

I'm betting their imbecile patron, Junior Bush, is shocked -- simply SHOCKED -- that his private army of contract killers may be infiltrated by individuals who would consider using drugs... just imagine -- DRUGS!

Excrement rolls downhill.

During Vietnam more than half of the compound I lived in at Da Nang were using either smack, pot, OJ (opium cured grass) or alcohol.

There were seldom any busts and at night the smoke curled out the screens in the barracks.

they might be doing steroids but i got a feeling the real story is the real drug of choice these blackwater guys are doing is meth from reports i've heard from what these blackwater people do and how they act ,that they use steroids use in guise of what these guys are really using meth answers lots of questions now,wonder do they smoke or sniff or inject before they go out and murder whoever they feel like ,lets see just because their high and theres no law and they seem to get away with murder so wow meth must be really good ,after all hitler and his pals loved meth also BIG TIME

Speed was issued to GIs
in WW2.

This is where the speed tradition,
truck drivers, beatniks, jocks, etc comes
from.

It started in WW2.

Blackwater, though scum,
is not unique.

Not that their judgement needs any help!
Let's see, how will I expend my life energy...Oh, I think I will kill and torture for money!
You can be sure they use anything they feel like.
They are above any law.

Welcome to the age of privatization. Meet your new Police Force, fresh from training camp in Iraq.

Crowd control is their specialty!

If you think I'm kidding, ask the folks that were left behind in NOLA after Katrina.

They did a great job of clearing NOLA out and made room for the free marketeers/newage Robber Barons.

Bestimmte wissenschaftliche Substanzen des Blackwater Gebrauches in einer patriotischen Weise, zu verteidigen exhalted Führer unseres Vaterlands. Blackwater steht nicht am Paraderest, während unser Patriotismus gefragt wird, während unsere Söldner Ihre Freiheiten verteidigen und wo die Sicherheit unserer Vaterlandnachfragen wir in hohem Grade fokussiert und motiviert bleiben. Wenn einige Drogen uns helfen, diese erhöhte Richtung der Stärke und des Patriotismus, der uns, erlaubt unsere Arbeiten mit echterer Leistungsfähigkeit zu erledigen, also sei es und Aufenthalt zu erzielen aus unseren Angelegenheiten heraus. Wir sind in Ihren Nachbarschaften auch oder bald werden sein. Verteidigen Sie das Vaterland gegen alle liberalen moralischen Feiglinge. Sie bumsende Liberale verwirklichen den Zorn der Blackwater Führer, wenn Sie nicht heraus aufpassen!
