Show AllThat was one of the most powerful and disturbing things I have ever seen on TV. It gives a truly disturbing insight into what a corporation and its minions are capable of.
It also shows the full range of human decency from a loving, honorable father that asked for nothing more than a public apology for the death of his son, to heartless, soulless corporate scum, that couldn't grant that very small request.
This shows to anyone but a total fool, that if corporations allowed to run wild they will be the death of us all.
If we were allowed to see photos of the victims of Drones that Blackwater maintains and arm for Obomber in Baluchistan there would many, many more and even younger children, victims of the USA's 80% civilian kill rate war crime drone program.
This kid is merely the youngest for this particular massacre. Blackwater/Xe has killed so many like this the youngest was most likely < 1yr old.
Cicero: "Freedom is participation in power."
If there is no God we surely need one to exact righteousness for wanton hate and killing like this. These Xe/Blackwater pigs think of themselves as "professionals." Psychotic "Christian" extremist thugs murdering every non-mercenary in the street. Every American should listen to this first person account of Nisour Square. That the victims of this massacre cannot get justice from American courts is another one of the most damning comments on contempory, increasingly fascist Amurka.

Blackwater/Xe are nothing more then the Murderous Nazi's, of Germany, and they too thought themselves Christians. The Nazi power came to be as soon as Bush took over, and we had our Reichstag, and then the same Hitler tactics, as invading countries, tortureing, and murdering the innocent. With the Beck type, the tea party gang, and big business allowed to buy whom they want to Dictate in 2012, our country will be another Nazi Germany, and Blackwater will be the Gestopo.
The story of Alawi is so well told that Jeremy Scahill gets my vote as best American reporter.
Why, though, must Jeremy Scahill always have to do the talking about Xe (Blackwater)? Why won't Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton attack these bullying murderers and put them in their proper place?
Obama's regime take their orders from the same one as Bush Jr. did,----Bush SR.-Chaney,& Robert Gates.
