Re: I Find It Fascinating That......
It doesn't really matter to the Maliki government if Blackwater was wrong or not. The CNN article makes this sound like a 100% standard ambush.
Going after Blackwater is the most politically savvy thing Maliki has done in a long time. Maliki gets to look like he's standing up to the US and kicking foreigners out of Iraq while not doing anything that would impact the actual troop levels.
Expect the press coverage to be much like Haditha. Lots of stories before the investigation with almost no coverage of the outcome.
