Blackwater guards found guilty in Iraq shootings

Published October 22, 2014

Associated Press

File photos of former Blackwater Worldwide guards Paul Slough (Dec. 8, 2008), Nicholas Slatten (June 11, 2014), Evan Liberty (June 11, 2014) and Dustin Heard (Jan. 6, 2009). (AP)

Four former Blackwater security guards were found guilty Wednesday in the 2007 shootings of more than 30 Iraqis in Baghdad, and a federal judge ordered them immediately to jail.

In an overwhelming victory for prosecutors, a jury found Nicholas Slatten guilty of first-degree murder. The three other guards – Paul Slough, Evan Liberty and Dustin Heard – were found guilty of multiple counts of voluntary manslaughter, attempted manslaughter and gun charges.

The four men had been charged with a combined 33 counts in the shootings and the jury was able to reach a verdict on all of them, with the exception of three charges against Heard. The prosecution agreed to drop those charges.

The outcome after a summerlong trial and weeks of jury deliberation stunned the defense.

David Schertler, a lawyer for Heard, said “the verdict is wrong, it’s incomprehensible. We’re devastated. We’re going to fight it every step of the way. We still think we’re going to win.”

The shootings on Sept. 16, 2007, caused an international uproar over the role of defense contractors in urban warfare.

The State Department hired Blackwater to protect American diplomats in Baghdad, the Iraqi capital, and elsewhere in the country. Blackwater convoys of four heavily armored vehicles operated in risky environments where car bombs and attacks by insurgents were common.

Slatten was charged with first-degree murder; the others were charged with voluntary manslaughter, attempted manslaughter and gun charges.

The case was mired in legal battles for years, making it uncertain whether the defendants would ever be tried.

The trial focused on the killings of 14 Iraqis and the wounding of 17 others. During an 11-week trial, prosecutors summoned 72 witnesses, including Iraqi victims, their families and former colleagues of the defendant Blackwater guards.

There was sharp disagreement over the facts in the case.

The defendants’ lawyers said there was strong evidence the guards were targeted with gunfire from insurgents and Iraqi police, leading the guards to shoot back in self-defense. Federal prosecutors said there was no incoming gunfire and that the shootings by the guards were unprovoked.

The prosecution focused on the defendants’ intent, contending that some of the Blackwater guards harbored a low regard and deep hostility toward Iraqi civilians.

The guards, the prosecution said, held “a grave indifference” to the death and injury that their actions probably would cause Iraqis. Several former Blackwater guards testified that they had been generally distrustful of Iraqis, based on experience the guards said they had had in being led into ambushes.

Prosecutors said that from a vantage point inside his convoy’s command vehicle, Slatten aimed his SR-25 sniper rifle through a gun portal, killing the driver of a stopped white Kia sedan, Ahmed Haithem Ahmed Al Rubia’y.

At the trial, two Iraqi traffic officers and one of the shooting victims testified the car was stopped at the time the shots were fired. The assertion that the car was stopped supported the prosecution argument that the shots were unwarranted.

Defense lawyers pressed their argument that other Blackwater guards – not Slatten – fired the first shots at the Kia sedan and that they did so only after the vehicle moved slowly toward the convoy, posing what appeared to be a threat to the Blackwater guards’ safety.

Once the shooting started, hundreds of Iraqi citizens ran for their lives.

It was “gunfire coming from the left, gunfire coming from the right,” prosecutor Anthony Asuncion told the jury in closing arguments.

One of the government witnesses in the case, Blackwater guard Jeremy Ridgeway, pleaded guilty to killing the driver’s mother, who died in the passenger seat of the white Kia next to her son.

The maximum sentence for conviction of first-degree murder is life imprisonment.The gun charges carry mandatory minimum prison terms of 30 years. The maximum prison term for involuntary manslaughter is eight years; for attempted manslaughter it is seven years.

The priorities of the government program

10/21/2014 0:00

Yassin Atwani
usually accompanied by the formation of any new government, a government program of work, is in the light of determining the priorities of this government, which is a new government’s agenda for the next phase.

It is natural that includes this program, and according to the requirements and priorities of the country’s needs for the foreseeable future, and the other is on the strategy to achieve them.

If we tried to prioritize in our country within this perspective, there is no doubt that the defeat terrorist groups and security comes on top of the priorities of the government program, and this was confirmed by the Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, a review of his government program in front of the House of Representatives.

Despite the fact that this is no different than the two, but this does not mean the neglect of the rest of the priorities is as important as the priority of security and defeat terrorism.

Out of prioritization in the government program, which won on the impact of Mr. Abadi confidence of the House of Representatives, we see steps ambitious included in this program which it was clear objectives through its emphasis on achieving the requirements of present and future for the Iraqi people, as the distribution platform of the government program on several key areas, in addition to the priority of achieving security and stability in the country, the text of the program to achieve the two types of plans and commitments, the first urgent exigencies of the circumstances of the stage, and the goal sheltering displaced families, and to alleviate their suffering, through the provision of adequate housing for them, and meet the requirements of daily living, and enroll children in school, as a prelude to returning them to their home areas after editing.

The second plan comprehensive strategy covering the next four years, and include all sectors and fields, and sets specific targets required by the conditions of the priorities of the country, and oversees the developed and formulated by experts and advisers from different state institutions.

Included in this characterization upgrading service and standard of living of citizens, including the development of efficient educational and research institutions, and the provision of basic services to citizens, and to achieve social security effectively and efficiently, and to provide a healthy environment clean, and the protection of the cultural heritage of the spectra of the community, and concern for young women and children, and the development of the national economy, through diversify sources of income.

The government program also talked about starting an administrative revolution, and to ensure optimal use of financial resources, and activating the principle of accountability, and the separation between the political and administrative positions.

He also pledged to fight corruption and the transformation from a planned economy to a free market economyand support investment, and private sector development, and attention to agricultural and industrial activity, as well as support the capabilities of the Iraqi army and security forces.

And did not ignore the government program to develop Iraq’s relations with the countries of the region and the world.

these are the main axes of the government program, and it seems it Ictnz between carries a lot of hopes and legitimate aspirations are consonant with the needs of the citizen, but the question that arises is:

what are the mechanisms that will be under implementation this program?

There is no doubt that it needs the concerted efforts of everyone in order to determine the methods actors for the implementation of the paragraphs of the government program, and perhaps the first steps to be taken in this regard lies in the process of cooperation and coordination between the legislative and executive branches, Without this integration between the two can not be for this program to see the light of day.

The other thing sponsor the implementation of the paragraphs of this program is the compatibility between the various political parties, through resorting to reference the Constitution in case of any dispute, and stay away from personal interpretations, regional, and political bids, and the pursuit of immediate gains.

So you must deal with this matter seriously and packages, by standing on the ills and drawbacks real disturb the political harmony, and reflect negatively on the weft and the structure of the same society, and this means looking for participants that combine the political parties, and to build on what has been achieved understandings.
