Blackwater Offered Immunity

Blackwater, a private security firm (read: mercenaries) is in trouble for having shot some people (I apologize for the huge over-simplification).

Anyway, the State Department is offering them immunity. Here's the problem: immunity means that it doesn't matter if they're guilty or innoncent, there will be no consequences for their actions. Even if you were to assume that the Blackwater guards were put there with little actual training and couldn't be held to the same standards as our military, there should be consequences for the people who made the decision to send them there in the first place.

Update

CNN has responded to the hype that the "immunity" stories caused by releasing this article explaining that it was a limited immunity deal that would not have stopped prosecution. Read the full articles for details.
