AN OLD STORY

From the LA Times:

Iraqi spokesman Dabbagh said a preliminary report showed Blackwater guards "used superior firepower unnecessarily." The convoy fired recklessly when a couple's car failed to come to a complete stop at the Nisoor roundaboutin western Baghdad's Mansour district, he said. "The car was slowing down but not stopping. They suspected them and shot and killed the couple and their small child," Dabbagh said. Support helicopters joined the convoy in raking fire on the traffic circle, he said. At least five other people died in the shooting, Iraqi authorities said.


This began with the invasion and has continued throughout the occupation.
