[Peace-discuss] Buh-bye Blackwater

Yes, it's a step in the right (left?) direction, but it also seems like tokenism to me, like the closing of Gitanamo but not the other horrible prisons housing "terrorists" etc.

This is a good step, but it does not affect Blackwater in Illinois, now re-dubbed Blackwater Midwest. They are here to "protect us" in Illinois from terrorism and disasters through their training of local law enforcement. Barbara
