"I don’t give a goddamn," Bush retorted. "I’m the President and the Commander-in-Chief. Do it my way."

"Mr. President," one aide in the meeting said. "There is a valid case that the provisions in this law undermine the Constitution."

"Stop throwing the Constitution in my face," Bush screamed back. "It’s just a goddamned piece of paper!"

Immunity Deal Hampers Blackwater Inquiry - Politics on The Huffington Post

Immunity Deal Hampers Blackwater Inquiry - Politics on The Huffington Post: "WASHINGTON — The State Department promised Blackwater USA bodyguards immunity from prosecution in its investigation of last month's deadly shooting of 17 Iraqi civilians, The Associated Press has learned. The immunity deal has delayed a criminal inquiry into the Sept. 16 killings and could undermine any effort to prosecute security contractors for their role in the incident that has infuriated the Iraqi government. 'Once you give immunity, you can't take it away,' said a senior law enforcement official familiar with the investigation."

If the Iraq government gets its way, these people will be pulled from Iraq. Then Blackwater will probably be used by our government for national disasters, as contractors were used during Katrina. How would you like to be face to face with one of these thugs?
