Blackwater USA might be screwed under new SOFA.

And it couldn’t happen to a bigger bag o’ batshit bunch of mutha fucka’s… From IHT:

Private contractors working for the U.S. government in Iraq will lose their immunity from Iraqi law under a new pact with Baghdad, senior American officials said on Thursday.

The contractors, who provide everything from personal security to meals for U.S. forces and officials in Iraq, were told they should expect to lose their immunity starting January 1, the State and Defence department officials said.

…..
But the pact explicitly says U.S. Defence Department contractors will lose immunity, said the senior U.S. officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity. They said contractors for the State Department and other agencies are expected to be treated the same way.

Representatives of about 172 companies with operations in Iraq have been briefed on the change.

The companies were read a statement that said: “In the future, contractors and grantees can expect to be fully subject to Iraqi criminal and civil law and to the procedures of the Iraqi judicial system.”

And I hope to hell they are all tried in Iraqi courts..sweet Jaysus, its rich…ain’t it? BushCo tossed them under the fucking bus in the end.
