When news broke that Mohammed Kinani's son’s killers, Blackwater private military contractors hired by the U.S. government in Baghdad, were pardoned Wednesday by President Trump, Kinani said it was like losing his 9-year-old boy all over again.
"I don't know what I did to Blackwater,” Kinani told ABC News. "Did I know Blackwater before? No. Why did this happen to me?"

Just pretend they were minding their own business in a skyscraper and someone flew a jetliner into it.
great post
War is hell. Fog of war. Etc.
most of us are not up to speed on the facts of the case; can someone explain the relevant details?
Arguments from those both pro and con on these pardons would be great.
This is why I hate sanctimonious politicians.
The government trains men to kill
Our government and military leaders seek to give them increasingly powerful weapons
Political leaders often LIE us into war
They rarely send their own sons and daughters, but rely on the children of fly-over country.
These wars expose these soldiers to fatal risks on a daily basis.
And then, they complete their sanctimony by micro-managing and publicly condeming that killing that inevitably takes place.
Listening to, or reading about, these raghead vermin is similar to listening to, or reading about, the BLM & Antifa vermin...
All cut from the same cloth...
Bookmark.
So what?
Now that uou cannot get any American money, you decide to open your yap?
Charges were dropped once a ways back but then reinstated in 2011 by some judge
Put then bong down son.
Post an article then take every response as personal rather than responding to the posted article.
You posted an instruction.
This is so like ABC. Always play up the “victims” and don’t address the political nature of the charges and results. The media in this country is sick and significantly responsible for the turmoil and division in this country. They are corrupt to the core.
They would be ALL OVER IT before they realized that he had tricked them once again...
AMAZING how fast they dug these people up for comment, ain't it?
Trump should just tell the Media that the pardon is Hunter’s laptop...
