Blackwater “Actually Drew Their Weapons On U.S. Soldiers.”

[Hugo Chavez]

The colonel was furious. “Can you believe it? They actually drew their weapons on U.S. soldiers.” He was describing a 2006 car accident, in which an SUV full of Blackwater operatives had crashed into a U.S. Army Humvee on a street in Baghdad’s Green Zone. The colonel, who was involved in a follow-up investigation and spoke on the condition he not be named, said the Blackwater guards disarmed the U.S. Army soldiers and made them lie on the ground at gunpoint until they could disentangle the SUV. His account was confirmed by the head of another private security company. Asked to address this and other allegations in this story, Blackwater spokesperson Anne Tyrrell said, “This type of gossip has led to many soap operas in the press.”

From what I've read these Blackwater people don't work under any laws or rules and can essentially do whatever they want.

If they had shot and killed the U.S. soldiers would the Military have been able to do anything about it? From what I've read and heard these guys kill with impunity.
