This may actually happen...

If the Chicago Cubs win the World Series:

Guardian UK:

BAGHDAD (AP) - The official Iraqi investigation into last month's Blackwater shooting has been submitted to the government and recommends the security guards face trial in Iraqi courts, and that the company pay compensation to the victims, an Iraqi government minister told The Associated Press on Thursday.

The minister said the report was issued under the signatures of al-Obeidi, Maj. Gen. Tariq al-Baldawi, the deputy minister of national security; and Maj. Gen. Hussein Ali Kamal, the deputy interior minister for intelligence and security affairs.


These are officials of the Iraqi government that the U.S. forces purportedly invaded the country and deposed Saddam Hussein to allow to come to power and govern Iraq as a sovereign nation. They are now exercising their right as an elected government in the investigation of the killing of a number of their citizens by agents of a foreign occupying power.

The cabinet minister said the report determined that 13 Iraqi civilians - not 11 as originally reported - were killed when Blackwater USA guards sprayed western Baghdad's Nisoor Square with gunfire Sept. 16.

GO-OOOOOO CUBBIES!!!!!
