nice that they agreed to pay it…

now if the gov’t would just charge them criminally for murder and embezzlement weapons trafficking, tax fraud…

Put their officers in jail.

Blackwater, which gained notoriety when several blackwater operatives did something so horrendous and outrageous in Fallujah the residents were SO incensed they burned their bodies and hung them from the bridges igniting the insurgency.

It’s a drop in a bucket, to what they have rooked this country for… Another continuation of Cheney’s Brigade, that keeps going, and going, and going!

Guantanamo

A piddling fine is just a corporate “Get out of Jail Free” card.

Corporate America will never be cleaned up until the executives that run the companies, as well as the majority shareholders, are personally held responsible for the despicable acts of the companies they run. Hard time in prison and debilitating financial penalties that knock them and their families down a few tax brackets would be a good place to start.

The Obama administration is just another can or worms

A hundred million too light. WTF. This country is going to hell in a hand basket.

Corporate-Americans are more equal than the rest of us.

our money again …

Let’s just start lining them up.

The top 400 richest people in Amerika have a net worth of 1.25 TRILLION.

If ya want your money back, START HERE!

Proof of Banana Republic status for US under Military – Industrial – Complex’s boot heals >>>> #1 Piddling fine that will be skimmed for next no – bid multi-Billion dollar contact in false war on terror . #2 Exponential growth of mercenary force in Iraq by more then 50,000 ( the vast majority low wage non – American stateless contact muscle ) whose PR face will be a few ex – special forces personnel to ” guard ” American diplomats . #3 Spread of mercenary contagion to all of South Asia ( Afghanistan and Pakistan ) #4 Mixed messages Pres. emphasizes withdrawal and ending of combat mission —- Pentagon sources business prospects for mercenary’s bigger then ever !!!

All part of the business plan. Doesn’t even make a dent in their profits.

$42 mil? What a bargain! OJ would have paid that and he only killed two – allegedly.

Blackwater is now a foreign entity. Why are they still a war contractor for the US?

The purpose for any war is to end it unless you’re a contractor at which point the purpose of any war is to continue it to make profit. So why do we have ANY contractor working for our armed forces?

Seems to me any contractor working in a war zone has a conflict of interest because corporations are required by law to make a profit. That being true The People could bring a case against the government for hiring contractors – provided The People were allowed to legally do that.

Gov’t: Oh, yes. We’re keeping them in line. See? See? SEE?

Methinks the punishment doesn’t fit the crimes. they should all be keel-hauled, for starters

“Shame on you Xe, if you ever do it again, we’ll, we’ll do something worse” -State Dept. spokesperson with fingers crossed behind back.

Unbelievable!!! And you know Eric Prince’ “Amerikkkenness” is beyond reproach, which is why he had to move to Dubai. haha

If you have doubt that we are a fascist empire, please remember that we hire mercenaries to kill, rape, and plunder across the globe. It should be obvious that by doing so, they are making us less safe by creating whole countries and civilizations that hate us, so that any argument that they are out protecting us, should be summarily dismissed by anyone in possession with an ounce of sense. There’s other evidence, should you have a pulse and eyes, but that really should be enough.

Isn’t it NICE that, if you’re wealthy enough to pay millions that you DON’T HAVE TO GO TO JAIL???

Ah…. America

DoD says Assange has “blood on his hands” while Blackwater gets the equivalent of a parking ticket. Orwellian priorities.

Get them out of our government, get them out of our country. Why are we forced to pay for such goons?

$42M is nothing but an excuse to say “we made them pay.”

Which is it Gerbil-man? Can or worms?

Lol, Chip. I am too old for you, I went through puberty. I really like you, I think you are a funny little character, until the time I’ll learned that you have sexually molested a 13 yr old.

Seriously, Stay away from the kids.Please

How is it they can still do business with the government? This company has committed the equivalent of murder as well as other felonies. If corporations are to be treated as “entities” rather having rights equal to human beings than they deserve an equal level of punishment. They should be ordered to dis-corporate and the responsible executives should be barred from employment within that field as well as held responsible for any personal involvement.

$42 million dollars? Not enough to completely drain the pus out of this abscess.

Isn’t the United States government using availing itself of the services of Xe (formerly Blackwater)? If that’s the case, it seems logical to assume that the $42 million being paid out comes from monies we are paying Xe for doing what they do (supposedly protecting embassies and other installations, training troops, and occasionally gunning down civilians).

In short, aren’t we billing ourselves $42 million dollars?

I have an idea: How about we cut all contracts with Xe, then bill them $42 million? I suspect it will bite just a bit more then.

Funny how if you are the RIGHT lawbreaker… you pay a fine, or, if you are dirt scum like me, you break the law and go to jail… (I did not) Bankers and Military contractors ARE our government. They can do anything they want.

Sounds more like a $42 million refund…

Perhaps I may not be fully aware of it.

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.
