The whole story could be a lie — it’s the NY Times. However, maybe the real story is ‘blackwater reached a million-dollar settlement in the killing of 17 civilians, to avoid further criminal or civil liability. The details of the settlement were sealed’.
That happens every day here in the USA.
Iraqi officials have far too much integrity to accept any sort of bribe or unofficial secret payment.
