Leahy Blasts "Amnesty Administration" ... Immunity Reports 'Embarrass Rice' ... ABC Obtains Text Of Immunity DealAP LARA JAKES JORDAN October 30, 2007 04:36 PM
Democrats criticized the Bush administration Tuesday for giving immunity to Blackwater USA bodyguards, calling the move a failure to hold the security contractors responsible for the shooting deaths of 17 Iraqi civilians.
