How does this look?

Let's remember that the scuffle over whether or not Blackwater has received immunity also has a component directly related to the war.

The whole reason this recent Blackwater incident has become such a big deal is that it echoes so many Iraqi experiences in the past.

And now come to find out, (AP) "Limited immunity has been routinely offered to private security contractors involved in shootings in Iraq, State Department officials said Tuesday."

How do you think that comes across to the Iraqis?

(To get some sense of Iraqi "tone" on this, when was the last time you heard of the Iraqi government doing anything?

Iraq's government has approved a draft law to lift immunity for foreign security companies including Blackwater USA....The draft law, expected to be passed overwhelmingly by parliament....

The US solution is to shift responsibility from the State Dept. to the military.)
