Federal Jury Finds Blackwater Guards Guilty in 2007 Iraq Killings A federal jury convicted and immediately jailed four former Blackwater Worldwide security guards yesterday for their roles in a 2007 shooting that injured 17 Iraqis and killed 14 in Baghdad. Despite the defense’s claims, the jury found that the deaths were not the result of a battlefield tragedy, but of a criminal act.

Good. Private security personnel should not be above the law. The lives of Iraqi citizens are as important as Americans.
