Subject: RE: BS: American Soldiers Torturing Iraqis
McGrath - One thing that comes out in the news coverage - as a result of the immunity for contractors deal slipped through, it appears that, no matter what the civilian contractors involved in this unit may have done, in the way of promoting or executing war crimes such as are alleged in this case, nothing can be done to them legally, either by the Iraqi authorities (once these exist) or the US government. And I think they've also got immunity from any kind of civil cases against them. And they are also covered against any International War Cri8mes tribunal.

Everyone keeps skipping this very important point. If you are a civilian contractor with immunity, your job is to get the information any way you can. I want to know who trains these people?

Makes you wonder if this is how they got their information about weapons of mass destruction.
