Did anyone else hear Sen. Dole say
That the Blackwater "contractors" who were killed and strung up were "unarmed civilians" at today's hearing? Also, which General said (yet once again) that we are doing "god's work" in Iraq during the answer part? It happened right at the end of this mornings hearing.

They are suckers for a lightning bolt.
So now mercenaries are classified as unarmed civilians.

I was listening in the car on NPR and she mentioned that the 4 "unarmed civilians" were employed by a company from her state (North Carolina), Blackwater USA. She was asking the Generals if they were going to supply armed escorts for contractors.
