I think the kid who threw that poor defenseless dog off the roof should get life without parole. I agree with Dave that he’s a serial killer in waiting. Another Jeffrey Dahmer to be. Poor dog.
ok, print is probably not the best medium for any such discussion anyway…maybe over drinks at Bell?
I probably went over the top, but I find your statements of moral relativism distasteful and somewhat absurd in this case. My comment about leaning left is to underscore that my objections are not related to a political view of the war.
Sorry, cmu, not once he commits an act of terror.
And the british treated any non-loyalist like a terrorist or a mercenary.
sd, then you don’t read the same media I do. You’re ignoring evidence because (and I believe you fully) you know of perfectly respectable people working for the organization. That does not absolve the many who are not exactly ethical or responsible.
Why the ad hominen attack? And what does being on the ‘left’ have to do with it?

“Blackwater operatives are uncontrolled, unmanaged loose cannon who have the authority of soldiers. ”
You are a total douchebag. I have more than one friend who worked for blackwater, risking life and limb to do jobs for the US government and therefore you. Your partisan generalizations and oversimplifications reveal extreme ignorance. And I say that as someone on the left.
“They did a bad job on the building,†said the worker. “They’re using this foam stuff [an artificial material called Parex] and a skin coat of cement. That’s what they use with all these buildings. You go to all the buildings on Fourth Avenue, you see this.â€
THIS GUY WAS NOT A CIVILIAN.
