Does the Bush/Cheney Administration know how to run a war or what? I wonder what's to come of the Iraq Embassy when all the USA troops leave? Should be interesting to see. I take it this is an issue INSIDE 'The Green Zone.' Immunity? Private contractors have immunity? How many people have been killed by these mercenaries? The Iraqi government should demand their removal of all private contractors and put their own people to work !

The decision to ban US government officials' movement outside Baghdad's fortified green zone came as the Iraqi Government vowed to challenge the immunity of private security contractors from prosecution under Iraqi law and review the operations of all such companies in Iraq.
...The decision effectively halted Blackwater's operations because a main task of the company is to escort diplomats, including the US ambassador, Ryan Crocker....
Watch the media fiasco over this on all the cable networks. It will be just like old times distracting the nation away from the elections, the issues, the Iraq war and causing issues over racism. O.J. Simpson's arrests and trials aren't about racism, it's about narcissism and self-righteousness that leads him to believe no matter what he does he's above the law.
This is the last time this issue will appear on this blog due to a protect against the media coverage and shame on everyone else. I don't see any other minority getting the attention he does over alleged crimes committed. I can see it now, the OJ Trial only interrupted when necessary for commericals promoting the Republican candidate for president. I just can't wait, can you? Everyone pay attention now to the politics of the day, there will be a quiz in November of 2008 !
