US authorities enforcing an Iraqi law? The last I knew, it is also against US and Iraqi law to kill someone, oh, like the Blackwater employee who in a drunken state killed bodyguard of Iraq's VP. Did the US authorities enforce the law in that case or help the employee flee the country? You have one guess.

Not like I like seeing bloody parts of children strewn about...open access is necessary to expose America to what is being carried out in their names and with their money.
