That was the headline story on cnn.com yesterday morning, and yet I didn't see a single diary on this development. This is a significant development in the ongoing Blackwater debacle, and one that could have disastrous consequences for the U.S. occupation. Indeed this WILL be a defining moment for the Iraqi government, which is finally standing up and demanding some accountability for the atrocities committed daily against their people. Something that IMHO is long overdue.
