FBI Faults Blackwater in Civilian Deaths

Things aren't looking good for Blackwater personnel who are now found that the shootings of 17 Iraqi's were unjustified.

Blackwater Worldwide supports "stringent accountability" for any wrongdoing.

Well what does something like that mean?  Are they going to try these people for murder in Iraq?  In the US?  What is a likely punishment for these people who killed 17 Iraqi civilians?

No evidence supports assertions by Blackwater employees that they were fired upon by Iraqi civilians, but the FBI has concluded that three of the deaths may have been justified under rules that allow lethal force in response to an imminent threat, the paper reported.

So if three deaths were justified, why did 14 other people have to die with them?  It's easy to throw these people under the bus, but it's also entirely possible that these people were all a part of a group and part of that group opened fire and they all paid with that with their lives.

As more information becomes available, I'll be sure to share it.
