LAT on Blackwater, again

The LAT editorializes on Blackwater again this morning, lamenting that Blackwater personnel who were involved in the shootout in Baghdad in September may not be prosecutable under either U.S. or Iraqi law. The LAT closes by calling the shootout a Blackwater debacle. But what if the Blackwater people were defending themselves and the State Department official they were protecting? What if they did nothing wrong or committed only minor errors in judgment that didn't affect the outcome? Would the LAT then defend them and say they were being railroaded? Not a chance. The LAT obviously has an agenda and justice isn't on that agenda.
