Blackwater Honcho Says No Proof To The Accusations...

• Blackwater CEO Welcomes Probe, Greater Oversight

  Erik Prince says there is proof that his guards were fired upon and says they acted properly in shootout that killed 17 Iraqis.

I'm going to say this about that then be done with it. Many a serviceman has been saved by Blackwater arriving to help when all others couldn't or wouldn't make it to the party. That doesn't make a massacre palatable, but it DOES mean they deserve a fair shake.
