More on Blackwater

Check out the transcript and/or video of Amy Goodman's interview of Bill Sizemore -- reporter from the Virginian-Pilot who was nominated for a Pulitzer prize for his Blackwater coverage -- and Jeremy Scahill about the new developments in the legal case filed by the parents of the four contractors/mercenaries killed in Fallujah. Questions about jurisdiction, privacy, immunity, and the web of business and political connections. Does it strike anyone else as inappropriate that William Webster is on the arbitration panel?

Whoa! Talk about chutzpah! I had no idea that Blackwater was suing the estates of the contractors (or maybe just the administrators) for $10 million. I'd love to read that complaint.
