![]() Image from a quicklink (Image by Unknown Owner) Details DMCA | With the US pulling out troops from Iraq this month, Washington plans to send Blackwater mercenaries to the Middle Eastern country under the new brand of ACADEMI. The deployment of ACADEMI mercenaries is likely to cause outrage in Iraq, where its predecessor Blackwater Worldwide mercenaries could kill civilians with impunity during their time in Iraq. Iraqis will also take it as America's unwillingness to end the occupation of their country where, since 2003, the US-led invasion and subsequent occupation caused one million deaths, according to the California-based investigative organization Project Censored. |
