Five murderous thugs from Blackwater surrender to court in Utah
They are the murdering thugs who killed a bunch of civilians, including kids, at an intersection in Baghdad back in 2007. They have been on the loose since then. MSNBC just announced that they turned themselves in today to a court in Utah.

I have NO IDEA why Utah.

4. Why Utah? A conservative jury pool.
But in a federal case, where you are caught makes no difference. They should be tried either in Washington, for federal jurisdiction over overseas work, or in North Carolina, where their corporation is based.

It's nice to know that there are places acknowledged to be more murderous thug friendly than North Carolina.
