Iraqis Want Blackwater Out NOW

In a story currently being reported the government of Iraq is telling the United States government, that they want Blackwater out of their country .

Iraqi authorities want the U.S. government to sever all contracts in Iraq with Blackwater USA within six months and pay $8 million in compensation to each of the families of 17 people killed when the firm's guards sprayed a traffic circle with heavy machine gun fire last month. The demands, part of an Iraqi government report examined by The Associated Press, also called on U.S. authorities to hand over the Blackwater security agents involved in the Sept. 16 shootings to face possible trial in Iraqi courts.

There is going to be much more to come in this story and the full facts need to come out without any of the lies or spin, that is put on most stories from our government about what is happening in Iraq. The second link is the story of the Rabee family and what happened to them on August 10th and is titled: Iraqis tell of guards' reckless behavior

And begins with Residents of Hillah awaiting answers and justice in the slayings of two men. They believe those responsible for the deaths were Blackwater employees.

The young biology student pulled his car to the side of the busy traffic circle when he saw a fast-moving line of SUVs approaching from behind. As they flew past, he recalls, the lead vehicle appeared to intentionally smash into his sedan. But the worst was yet to come.

As the convoy sped off, a gunner inside the last sport utility vehicle sprayed the traffic circle with bullets. Pedestrians ran for cover. Seated in the car closest to the SUV, student Ali Karem Fakhri Hilal thrust his hands into the air to show he was unarmed.

But four cars behind him, Hussein Salih Mohammed Rabee, a retired businessman active in a local peace committee, was fatally wounded.

Let us find justice for these people and until this all shakes out we need to remove Blackwater from Iraq as that "sovereign" nation has not just asked, but demanded. If we truly want the government to govern, then listen to them when they tell us they DO NOT want Blackwater on "their" soil, or stop lying about wanting "democracy" for Iraq!!
