Blackwater — not wanting to be tarnished by philanthropic tag

US to Admit More Iraqi Refugees

…

That is, if there are any civilians left that Blackwater absurdist and repugnant stupid macho rambo morons haven’t killed yet:

“The acting ambassador at the United States Embassy in Baghdad suggested that Blackwater apologize for the shooting and pay the dead Iraqi man’s family $250,000, lest the Iraqi government bar Blackwater from working there, the report said. Blackwater eventually paid the family $15,000, according to the report, after an embassy diplomatic security official complained that the “crazy sums” proposed by the ambassador could encourage Iraqis to try to “get killed by our guys to financially guarantee their family’s future.”

Update: Extra link …wor Michael at Jewcy has something to add…
