Mercenaries murdering US Army soldier/s who witness corruption....
http://noquarterusa.net/blog/2007/11/25/did-security-contractors-kill-colonel-westhusing/

Although the article linked above and here strongly imply that Westhusing killed himself, I have it from a source with firsthand knowledge that some military officers who were on the ground with Westhusing believe he was murdered to keep him from blowing the whistle on the corruption he witnessed. I have confirmed that these individuals are willing to tell all they know to Congressman Henry Waxman’s committee. Stay tuned.

Larry Johnson (CIA ret.)

2. It seems like the apotheosis of privatization.
In what kind of reasonable scenario can you imagine this coming to light and being redressed? I have a pretty good imagination and I got nothing.

3. Absolutely....
If they day comes that these contractors are prosecuted for Murder and Treason....seriously I want the Mussolini solution.....I want them hung by their feet in city squares so that Americans will understand that these people killed American soldiars....and then I want it to go as far as it can go....these mercenaries had no business being hired....by the US government...withought any rules or punishment for wrong doing.

Call it callous...but no one has ever been held accountable for any of the crimes that have occurred in Iraq and Afghanastan.....any and all investigations were blocked by the DOJ and this Administration....

5. The thing is about those particular guys they were there
very early before a lot of the really bad shit started happening with the Mercenaries..I am not sure if those guys deserved what happened to them. Now if they were participating in illegal activity and the locals that killed them felt that they were protecting themselves and making an example out of them.....:shrug:

But it is a huge problem when the Mercenaries are better equipped than our military men and women, they get better food, better protection, better vehicles...and wait they get paid 4X as much as our military personel....to me this is the War Profiteering that this administartion has allowed to happen.

8. This is a story that will never be proven.
No one in the Military will testify with any real proof that this man was
assasinated.

16. I always had the impression that it happened in response...
to the torture going-on in the prison. That makes more sense to me even though the corporate media never examined the issue. I just assumed the Iraqis were reacting to what they knew was going on...and indeed, the purpose of the torture was partly to inflame reaction in order to use that as a pretense for more genocide???

17. I think it was in retaliation of some Iraqi's shot during a protest
so much mayhem to keep up with, but am fairly sure this is the reason the mercs were killed. or one of them given.

11. I trust Larry Johnson implicitly.
I hope he doesn't have an affinity for small planes.
