thinkprogress.org — While Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice told Congress last week she “regrets” the lack of oversight of Blackwater, she neglected to mention that she granted the Blackwater guards prosecutorial immunity after the shootings, while the Bush administration rushed to the security firm’s defense and even awarded the firm a new $92 million contract.

Actually, as you read through, the story line becomes familiar: in an effort to determine the truth of a matter, immunity is granted to those involved. (With an exception retained for particularly gross offenders.) In other circumstances this would be called a "truth and reconciliation commission." South Africa set up one after apartheid fell. The same arrangement is fairly common in America in certain types of investigations. This is not the shocking news its being made out to be.
