Condoleezza Rice fixes everything: orders video cameras installed in Blackwater vehicles

[Bluebear]

Yeah, those tapes will never go missing. And why do we have an extraconstitutional organization acting on our behalf as military agents?

WASHINGTON - Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on Friday ordered federal agents to ride with Blackwater USA escorts of U.S. diplomatic convoys in Baghdad to tighten oversight after a shooting in which private guards are accused of killing 13 Iraqi civilians.

She also ordered video cameras installed in Blackwater vehicles.

The steps will require the State Department to deploy dozens of additional in-house Diplomatic Security agents to accompany Blackwater guards and are the first in a series of moves Rice is expected to take to boost control of contractors the agency depends on to protect its diplomats in Iraq.

2. watch wanna bet we get the bill for the cameras, the instalation, and the blank

3. I think what we really need in Iraq is a bigger footprint.

I think that the State Dept. and BW are trying to entice an open war against the US.

[Disturbed]

5. Here is a better idea. Kick those Bloody Mercs out of Iraq.

Blackwater & the other Mercs are RWing Terrorists; the SS for the USA Fascist Regime.

4. Why bother?

They can kill entire towns and simply hold up their get out of jail free card.

6. If your bodyguards need a NANNY to keep them from committing random murders...

...maybe the REAL problem isn't a prior lack of nannys.

7. They've grown bored with the Abu Graib snuff films

And need new material to satisfy their sick voyeuristic urges.

9. At Taxpayers Expense No Doubt - There Go's Another Billion....

and oops!!! here's what Blackwater will do:

After the most recent gunfight where innocent civilians are killed at the hands of Blackwater and the whole thing was caught on tape - lo and behold - Blackwater says: unfortunately the camera was in a vehicle that was blown up by these insurgents during the fight - sorry - no pictures.

Condi should just stick to buying shoes.

Is this even the duty of a SOS? What office do these mercs get paid by exactly?
