No Immunity For Blackwater et al

Presumably companies like Blackwater will not be retroactively charged with massive war crimes, one would suspect that this point was in the deal. So any shootings of entire families or innocent people on the streets will be tucked away.

Blackwater must now train its personnel to not shoot with impunity.

In truth this entire deal seems fishy, like its some kind of staged media event to convince people that there is autonomy in Iraq. I don't buy it. There is a history of similarly staged events that were all for show.
