What isn't excusable is if they walk because there isn't even the OPTION to prosecute, _then_ someone messed up.
War is a bad thing and when even worse things happen, we need the ability to punish the transgressors of rules of engagement to stop it from escalating into something very, very bad.

Tame, I agree with most of the stuff you've posted in this thread. It seems like there is a HUGE conflict of interest for either the US or Iraq to be conducting investigations of Blackwater. There should be independant investigations held for these types of events by a neutral third party.

Something along those lines would do wonders for credibility, so it does seem like a very good idea.
