Seven years later, Four Blackwater operatives were charged today with killing more than a dozen Iraqi civilians and wounding scores of others in Baghdad in 2007. The incident for which the men were tried was the single largest known massacre of Iraqi civilians at the hands of private U.S. security contractors. Known as “Baghdad’s bloody Sunday,” operatives from Blackwater gunned down 17 Iraqi civilians at a crowded intersection at Nisour Square on September 16, 2007. The company, founded by secretive right-wing Christian supremacist Erik Prince, had deep ties to the Bush Administration and served as a sort of neoconservative Praetorian Guard for a borderless war launched in the immediate aftermath of 9/11. Erik Prince and George W. Bush are free and rich and havent paid the price for the warcrimes they have committed #Iraq
