I'm sure you can find the specific incident reports for each shooting if you care to search.
One of the problems with the incidents reports that was confirmed by State was that the on-site reports were prepared by Blackwater personal, rather than on-site State Dept officials as required by law. Do you see a potential problem with that?

I am not wondering what their official duties are but how they carry them out, and how effective they are.
I am not even arguing the incidents, I wasn't there to dispute or collaborate, but the question is are the incidents, something we have had far worse from our own troops, worth their employment.
Are they vital to restoring peace and security to Iraq, as I am sure you and I both want to see happen, or are they simply overpaid bouncers with a dubious chain of command?
