Face-Off: Airbrushing Accountability in the Terror War

Does the butcher mourn the meat he makes his money from?

...We're seeing this kind of thing writ large in Iraq right now, as the Bush-connected Blackwater continues to deny -- against all the evidence -- that its mercenaries went beserk on a Baghdad street and gunned down 17 innocent people -- again, as in London, without provocation. The mercenary firm's warlord, Eric Prince, has defiantly declared that he "will not allow" his shooters to be face justice in Iraq. He blamed the "accusations" against his company on the "far left," who went after Blackwater after being "unsuccessful in attacking Petraeus [Yes, he quite shamelessly omitted the Congressionally protected general's title!] and defunding the war, forcing a pullback of U.S. troops." As for those dead bodies in the street, those grieving families, those tsunamis of anger and cries for revenge ringing across the conquered land after the atrocity -- Prince had nothing to say in his interview with the friendly folks at the cultic Washington Times. Why should he? Does the butcher mourn the meat he makes his money from?...
