Americans in Iraq

Remember the four private security guards that were hung from the bridge in Falluja? They were Blackwater employees. Their families are now suing Blackwater. From the Left Coaster:

The story that is coming out is an ugly one: namely that one of Blackwater's managers wanted to punish one of the men, Scott Helvenston, and sent him and three others into Falluja insufficiently manned (there should have been six men, not four assigned to the delivery) and with unarmored vehicles (because that allowed Blackwater to increase their profits). The Nation has a long and comprehensive look at what this suit is all about.

I wouldn't be surprised if the administration steps in to quash this suit on national security grounds.
