Blackwater security

The Blackwater security firm is banned from Iraq. Too free with weapons fire it seems.

Seems like more to the story.........They (Blackwater) drives through the square. They are attacked by persons in the square. Either an explosion or small arms fire from the square started things. If the convoy was forced to stop, then I would have probably jumped out and opened up on any targets I saw. I would be thinking ambush and I don't think they just wanted to talk to us about the weather..........

You are right! I have a friend who fought in Iraq, he said they use "the street demostrations" to move troops into the combat areas.
