Blackwater and other private security firms aren't helping improve U.S.-Iraqi relations or America's image in the Middle East.
The latest incident is very troubling and calls for a re-evaluation of the contractor's role in Iraq and its relationship with the U.S. government.
Do we need a "shadow army" in Iraq? If so, shouldn't there be much stricter rules governing its operations and real accountability for its mistakes?

I don't know, and I doubt that you guys do either. One hazard of opining from the Gate City is that we're basing our opinions, at best, on second-hand information or, at worst, on little information at all. It's essentially a form of blogging.
