Silly headline of the day:
Iraq Security Contractors to Get Sensitivity Training
A bit late for that, surely? Nevertheless TPM Muckraker has some suggestions on what that training might include:
[…]
We’ve got an advance look at the cultural-awareness lesson plan for Blackwater, Triple Canopy and DynCorp.
Lesson One: Don’t drunkenly murder bodyguards of Iraqi dignitaries.
Lesson Two: Should Lesson One fail, don’t hire those who drunkenly murder bodyguards of Iraqi dignitaries.
Lesson Three: Don’t shoot people as they flee in terror from your orgy of destruction.
Lesson Four: Don’t force terrified civilians off the road with your reckless convoys.
Lesson Five: Don’t fire your weapons at members of the U.S. military.
Lesson Six: Don’t broadcast your orgy of destruction on YouTube while set to music meant to show what a bad ass you are.
Well yes, that would be a start.
