A company that the Americans cannot operate here without (Blackwater)

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice telephoned al-Maliki late Monday and the two agreed to conduct a fair and transparent investigation.

The U.S. clearly hoped the Iraqis would be satisfied with an investigation, a finding of responsibility and compensation to the victims' families — and not insist on expelling a company that the Americans cannot operate here without
Order No. 17, a law issued by the Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq before the Iraqis regained sovereignty in June 2004, gave the companies immunity from Iraqi prosecution.

Hassan al-Rubaie, a member of the parliament's Security and Defense Committee, said an investigative committee has been formed and members would consider abolishing the immunity law.

Blackwater has a license to kill and Rice is protecting them.
