J. Patrick Rowan is conducting a show trial re the Blackwater Guards. I wonder if Mr. Rowan has ever done anything heroic for which he was honored by his country for his country? Do you think the guards needed those gov't issued machine guns or they could have defended themselves with semiautomatic weapons. Maybe Justice would have been happier if the guards had been killed and dragged through the streets. Sometimes my government disappoints me.
