BAGHDAD - Iraqi investigators have a videotape that shows Blackwater USA guards opened fire against civilians without provocation in a shooting last week that left 11 people dead, a senior Iraqi official said Saturday. He said the case was referred to the Iraqi judiciary.
Iraq's president, meanwhile, demanded that the Americans release an Iranian arrested this week on suspicion of smuggling weapons to Shiite militias. The demand adds new strains to U.S.-Iraqi relations only days before a meeting between President Bush and Iraq's Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.

When the towel-heads attack, using even children as "human shields", Blackwater's Rules of Engagement are not the same as U.S. soldiers.
When an AK-47 is unloading in your direction, from a jihadist who is hiding behind a Grandmother, do you just wait to return fire?

AP has not seen this [unedited] tape (if it exists).
They have no basis for this claim.
But that never stops them.

I hope they don’t wait to fire. I would move all Americans out and level the whole place if I was doing things.

This is all I need to read from the article:
The al-Maliki aide said Friday that the Iraqis were pushing for an apology, compensation for victims or their families and for the guards involved in the shooting to be held "accountable." Hadi al-Amri, a prominent Shiite lawmaker and al-Maliki ally, also said an admission of wrongdoing, an apology and compensation offered a way out of the dilemma. "They are always frightened and that's why they shoot at civilians," al-Amri said.
Horsefeathers isn't the word I'm thinking of.

I like, no love, your way of thinking!

Murtha called the Haditha Marines "cold-blooded killers"--yet all but one (thus far) have been CLEARED.
Enemy propaganda parroted by the fifth-column media used to indict Americans without presumption of innocence, without pretense of objectivity.
Now come the charges that Blackwater smuggled guns--hmm, Iran is doing that and their Rat-Boy Hitler-Wanna-Be is being feted in NYC.
The word of the enemy ought not be bought hook, line and sinker--but the media (and Defeatocrats) cannot resist.
In a continuing insurgency in which the enemy uses civilians as cover and expendable props, there is no need for a "rush to judgment" vis-a-vis Blackwater.
It may be another case of a load of Murtha.
