(Un)accountability

From CNN.com:

The Times cited unidentified civilian and military officials in reporting for Wednesday’s editions that the killings of at least 14 of the 17 Iraqi civilians shot by Blackwater personnel guarding a U.S. Embassy convoy were unjustified and violated standards in place governing the use of deadly force.

Responding to the Times report, Anne Tyrrell, a Blackwater spokeswoman, said the company “supports the stringent accountability of the industry. If it is determined that one person was complicit in the wrongdoing, we would support accountability in that. The key people in this have not spoken with investigators.”

Herman Miller chairAnne went on to say that the company will withhold further comment “until the findings are made available.” Translated, this means investigators plan on spinning around in their expensive Herman Miller chairs until all of this blows over.
