Blackwater Mercenaries Have No Responsibility (Rep. Diane Watson)

I am totally opposed to mercenaries taking our jobs and our pay. They do not come under many of the rules of engagement; they have immunity in certain areas; and, when they outright murder, then they have no responsibility. I would say this war has been misdirected, mismanaged, and scandalous.
