Report Depicts Recklessness at Blackwater

Date: October 1, 2007

Authors: David Stout and John M. Broder

QUOTE: The report, based largely on internal Blackwater e-mail messages and State Department documents, depicts the security contractor as being staffed with reckless, shoot-first guards who were not always sober and did not always stop to see who or what was hit by their bullets.
