Oh Blackwater, keep on rollin'



Five former members of Blackwater Worldwide are facing a blizzard of charges in connection with a Sept. 16, 2007 incident in Nisour Square, Baghdad, that left 17 Iraqis dead. The suspects surrendered to federal authorities in Salt Lake City, Utah, on Monday. A sixth man pleaded guilty to two counts of manslaughter last week. Blackwater itself is not facing charges. Even so, it constitutes yet another black eye for the security firm.
