A Series of Unfortunate Events
I watched the clips from the video provided by a news agency, and it was a drastic view of Iraq as just what many people claim it is; hell.
The video that is being aired on some news broadcasting stations and online purportedly shows armed passengeers(contracted non-official guards) shooting at civilian vehicles in the broad daylight of Baghdad. Non-official is also another word for a mercenary, or international defense corporation, like AEGIS, which seems to have hired the people who were shooting at the civiliar cars.
In one such video, there is loud music blaring, and the camera sits in a car driving very slowly and calmly through a boulevard, and suddenly, you hear the tat-tat of a rifle going off and you see cars a hundred meters away or so slow down and stop, or veer out of the road...the cars veering and stopping were being shot at by the car with the camera.
AEGIS officials, though, quickly swept the case under US authority, claiming that the US hired them in Iraq, and the complaints can be issued there. How nice of them...and how nice now that we "know" they will be brought to justice by our government...They can always go back to selling their arms to terrorist groups in Africa...
I wonder if the health plan they give to their employees includes antipsychotics?
Please read this slightly different view.
