Blackwater case
Re “Guards defied orders, U.S. says,” Dec. 9
The defense attorneys for the Blackwater guards accused of killing unarmed civilians in Baghdad contend that the Justice Department does not have the proper jurisdiction to try them. They’re probably right.
The five men should be sent back to Iraq, where the incident took place, to be tried. I’m sure they’ll be able to get the fair trial they want and deserve there.
