Leaked Video Shows US Contractors Randomly Killing Civilians

Since a right wing moron isn't likely to listen to a moral argument, I suggest using a pragmatic one. Mercenary contractors like Blackwater (I've lost track of what their name is this week) have a vested interest in armed conflict. They may start mischief in some obscure corner of the globe because it is good business for them to do so. Also, they could contract with who knows what scoundrel of a dictator somewhere, just because he's got the money to pay them. That's good business, too. And then they could end up fighting to defend said scoundrel of a dictator who pays them against American combat troops, or being lined up against a wall and shot because they refuse to protect their sugar daddy, said scoundrel of a dictator, from American combat troops.

Yes, they should be defunded and outlawed as soon as possible. Mercenary contractors have a great capability to make the world a very messy place.
