Why the Blackwater Case Stinks
Having practiced law in federal courts for about 30 years, the Blackwater case dismissal stinks. Federal judges (mostly appointed by wingers - Bushes/Reagan or kinda wingers - Clinton) ALWAYS find ways to get around "technical issues" in favor of government prosecutions. The only time they find - to their shock and dismay - that the govt has "erred" is in favor of the well connected. Trust me on this one: the fix was in!

BTW, I hate being so cynical, and I'd love to see federal judges enforce rights of citizens. But, with rare exceptions, they don't.
